`combined total of 10,000 words for all answering briefs, and a combinedtotal of 5,000

`
`papers a separate documentcontaining a single concise statement that admits or disputes
`
`the facts set forth in the moving party’s concise statement, as well as sets forth all
`
`material facts as to whichit is contended there exists a genuine issue necessary to be
`
`litigated.
`
`(e)
`
`Focus of the Concise Statement. When preparing the separate concise
`
`statement, a party shall reference only the material facts that are absolutely necessary for
`
`the Court to determine the limited issues presented in the motion for summary judgment
`
`(and no others), and each reference shall contain a citation to a particular affidavit,
`
`deposition, or other documentthat supports the party’s interpretation of the material fact.
`
`Documents referenced in the concise statement may, but need not, befiled in their entirety
`
`if a party concludesthat the full context would be helpful to the Court (e.g., a deposition
`
`miniscript with an index stating what pages may contain key words mayoften be useful).
`
`The concise statement shall particularly identify the page and portion of the page ofthe
`
`document referenced. The documentreferred to shall have relevant portions highlighted or
`
`otherwise emphasized. The parties may extract and highlight the relevant portions of each
`
`referenced document, but they shall ensure that enough of a documentis attached to put
`
`the matter in context. Ifa party determines that an entire deposition transcript should be
`
`submitted, the party should consider whether a miniscript would be preferable to a full-
`
`size transcript. If an entire miniscript is submitted, the index of terms appearing in the
`
`transcript must be included,if it exists. When multiple pages from a single documentare
`
`each material fact in its concise statement of facts. The concise statements of facts play an
`important gatekeeping role in the Court’s consideration of summary judgment motions.

`
`submitted, the pages shall be groupedin a single exhibit. Concise statements offact shall
`
`comply with paragraphs 10 and 14 of this Order.
`
`(f)
`
`Word Limits for Concise Statement. The concise statement in support of
`
`or in opposition to a motion for summary judgmentshall be no longer than 1,750 words.
`
`The text for each statement shall be 14-point and in Times New Romanora similar
`
`typeface. Each statement must includea certification by counsel that the statement
`
`complies with the type and numberlimitations set forth above. The person whoprepares
`
`the certification may rely on the word count of the word-processing system used to
`
`prepare the statement.
`
`(g)
`
`Affidavits and declarations. Affidavits or declarations setting forth facts
`
`and/or authenticating exhibits, as well as exhibits themselves, shall be attached only to
`
`the concise statement(i.e., not briefs).
`
`(h)
`
`Scope of Judicial Review. When resolving motions for summary
`
`judgment, the Court shall have no independent duty to search and consider anypart of the
`
`record not otherwise referenced in the separate concise statements of the parties. Further,
`
`the Court shall have no independent duty to review exhibits in their entirety, but rather
`
`will review only those portions of the exhibits specifically identified in the concise
`
`statements. Material facts set forth in the moving party’s concise statement will be
`
`deemed admitted unless controverted by a separate concise statement of the opposing
`
`party.
`
`20.
`
`Applications by Motion. Except as otherwise specified herein, any application to
`
`the Court shall be by written motion. Any non-dispositive motion should contain the statement
