1 Federal Trade Commission v. Bay Area Business Council, Inc. Anchor
ca7 · 2005
green “because of the important function local rules like rule 56.1 serve in organizing the evidence and identifying disputed facts, we have consistently upheld the district court's discretion to require strict compliance with those rules.” 14
2 Otis Grant v. Trustees of Indiana University
ca7 · 2017
green “as the 'put up or shut up' moment in a lawsuit,' summary judgment requires a non-moving party to respond to the moving party's properly-supported motion by identifying specific, admissible evidence showing that there is a genuine dispute of material fact for trial.” 11
3 Torres v. Alltown Bus Services
ca7 · 2009
green “since we have already held that it is not an abuse of discretion for a court to refuse to consider evidence whose manner of submission violated local rules, we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion in this case.” 5
