D.R.I. LR Cv 56
Motions for Summary Judgment
(a) Statement of Undisputed Facts.
(1) A motion for summary judgment shall be accompanied by a separate Statement of
Undisputed Facts that concisely sets forth all facts that the movant contends are
undisputed and entitle the movant to judgment as a matter of law.
(2) The Statement of Undisputed Facts shall be a separate filing, not an attachment to the
motion for summary judgment. Each “fact” shall be set forth in a separate, numbered
paragraph and shall identify the evidence establishing that fact, including the page
and line of any document to which reference is made, unless opposing counsel has
expressly acknowledged that the fact is undisputed.
(3) For purposes of a motion for summary judgment, any fact alleged in the movant’s
Statement of Undisputed Facts shall be deemed admitted unless expressly denied or
otherwise controverted by a party objecting to the motion. An objecting party that is
contesting the movant’s Statement of Undisputed Facts shall file a Statement of
Disputed Facts, which shall be numbered correspondingly to the Statement of
Undisputed Facts, and which shall identify the evidence establishing the dispute, in
accordance with the requirements of paragraph (a)(2).
(4) If an objecting party contends that there are additional undisputed facts not contained
in the moving party’s statement of undisputed facts which preclude summary
judgment, that party shall file a separate Statement of Undisputed Facts setting forth
such additional undisputed facts. Such statement shall be prepared in accordance
with the requirements of paragraph (a)(2), except that the additional undisputed facts
shall be numbered consecutively to the moving party’s undisputed facts.
(5) If an objecting party files a separate statement of additional undisputed facts and the
movant contests any of those facts, the movant shall file a separate statement setting
forth what additional facts are disputed, numbered correspondingly to the opposing
party's additional undisputed facts, at the same time it files its reply pursuant to LR
Cv 7.
(b) Supporting Documents. Unless otherwise requested or permitted by the Court, only the
relevant portion(s) of documents submitted in support of or in opposition to a motion for
summary judgment shall be included in the attachments.
(c) Successive Motions. No party shall file more than one motion for summary judgment unless
the Court otherwise permits for good cause shown.
(d) Objections and Replies. The timing and filing of objections and replies in connection with
motions for summary judgment shall be governed by LR Cv 7, unless otherwise directed by
the Court.
Effective 12/1/17: §(a)(1),(2), and (5) amended. Effective 1/3/11: §(d) added. Effective 1/5/09: §§(a)(2) and (a)(4)
amended; §(a)(5) added. Effective 4/10/08: §§(a)(1) and (a)(4) amended. Effective 3/17/08: §§(a)(3) and (a)(4)
amended.
