(a) Statement of Uncontested Material Facts
Compliance with Local Rule 56.1 is expected. Before preparing a statement of uncontested material facts under Rule 56.1(a), counsel are expected to read Malec v. Sanford, 191 F.R.D. 581, 583-85 (N.D. Ill. 2000); and Buttron v. Sheehan, 2003 WL 21801222 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 4, 2003), for guidance away from the pitfalls that tend to provoke motions to strike, which add unnecessarily to the cost and burden of the litigation.
