ORDER

15
16

Before the Court is Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 31), the

17

Response, and the Reply. Plaintiff alleges claims for failure to promote and for

18

termination of employment. Defendant’s Motion makes all the necessary showings to

19

defeat Plaintiff’s claims on the grounds presented in the Motion. Plaintiff presents no

20

evidence in opposition to the Motion.

21

Plaintiff’s Response lists a number of paragraphs that he does not oppose and

22

summarily states that he disputes other parts of Defendant’s statement of facts. Such a

23

response does not meet the requirements of Local Rule 56.1(b), which requires the

24

adverse party to respond to each of the moving party’s assertions of fact in a separately

25

numbered paragraph, and more importantly, to provide “a reference to the specific

26

admissible portion of the record supporting the party’s position if the fact is disputed.”

27
28

1

Plaintiff’s own Statement of Facts (Doc. 33-1) does not cite to any admissible

2

evidence in support of its assertions, and it does not submit any evidence or any

3

documentation at all.
