How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that strict enforcement of summary judgment deadlines is “justified in light of the district court’s significant interest in maintaining the integrity of its calendar.”
• holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to accept a response brief filed three days late or in granting summary judgment without considering the late-filed response and accompanying Local Rule 56.1 statement
• noting that the plaintiff’s failure to respond appropriately to the defendant’s Local Rule 56.1 statement resulted in the defendant’s statements of fact being deemed admitted
• noting that the moving party has “ultimate burden of persuasion” to show entitlement to judgment as a matter of law
• noting that, where Local Rule 56.1 is correctly applied, summary judgment is correctly de- termined only on facts compliant with the rule
• observing that the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure “give[] courts discretion in most situations to forgive missed deadlines” and that such a decision is “at bottom an equitable one”
