Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure State

Question 52

Multiple Choice

Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure state:
(a) Motion for Summary Judgment or Partial Summary Judgment. A party may move for summary judgment, identifying each claim or defense - or the part of each claim or defense - on which summary judgment is sought. The court shall grant summary judgment if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
The federal district court in your state has local rules of practice that require a separate "statement of facts" that sets forth "each material fact on which the party relies in support of the motion." The local rules continue by saying that each fact in the separate statement must be stated "in a separately numbered paragraph and must refer to a specific admissible portion of the record where the fact finds support."
From the options listed below, which describes the best approach to organizing internal cross-references in the motion for summary judgment and statement of facts?


A) To support a fact discussed in the motion, use a short reference number that corresponds to the associated paragraph in the statement of facts, and to reference the supporting document(s) for a fact in the statement of fact, use an exhibit number(s) and attached exhibit(s) .
B) To support a fact discussed in the motion, use exhibit number(s) that correspond to exhibit(s) attached to the statement of facts.
C) To support a fact discussed in the motion, use a short reference number that corresponds to the associated exhibit number for exhibits attached to the statement of facts, and to reference the supporting document(s) for a fact in the statement of fact, use an exhibit number(s) and attached exhibit(s) .
D) None of the above.
