(a) No Separate Statement Allowed Without Court Order. Unless required by the
assigned Judge, no separate statement of undisputed facts or joint statement of
undisputed facts shall be submitted.
(b) Procedure if Joint Statement Ordered. If the assigned Judge orders the submission
of a joint statement of undisputed facts, the parties shall confer and submit, on or
before a date set by the assigned Judge, a joint statement of undisputed facts. If the
nonmoving party refuses to join in the statement, the moving party will nevertheless be
permitted to file the motion, accompanied by a separate declaration of counsel
explaining why a joint statement was not filed. Whether or not sanctions should be
imposed for failure to file a joint statement of undisputed facts is a matter within the
discretion of the assigned Judge.
