• recognizing discretion of district courts to enforce local rules implementing Federal No. 15‐2641 Page 3 Rule of Civil Procedure 56
• holding Pioneer governs interpretation of “excusable neglect” when it appears in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
• upholding district court’s discretion to admit only those facts presented in accordance with Local Rule 56.1
• finding the state-created danger doctrine did not apply because “any theory linking the murder to Defendants’ disclosure of Marty’s informant status would depend on speculation and conjecture to fill the evidentiary void”
• noting the Court’s discretion to deny reopening discovery, in the absence of excusable neglect and in order to manage its caseload, “is considerable” because case management depends upon enforceable deadlines and an endpoint to discovery
