Local Rule of Civil Procedure 7.1(d) provides that “no
document filed with the Court shall exceed twenty (20) pages
without leave of Court.” LRCi 7.1(d).
The defendants’ motion is twenty-four pages long, excluding
exhibits.  The record does not reflect that the defendants
sought, or were granted, leave of court to file a motion in
excess of twenty pages.  
Local Rule of Civil Procedure 56.1(a)(1) provides, in part,
that summary judgment motions shall be accompanied by “a separate
statement of the material facts about which the movant contends
there is no genuine issue.” LRCi 56.1(a)(1).  That rule also
provides that “[e]ach fact paragraph shall be serially numbered
and shall be supported by specific citation to the record.” Id.
The defendants’ motion neither includes nor is accompanied
by a separate statement of material facts.
The premises considered, it is hereby
ORDERED that the defendants’ motion for partial summary
judgment is DENIED without prejudice.
