4. Each exhibit referenced in the motion for summary judgment and/or in the statement of material facts must be filed on the docket. Exhibits which have already been filed on the docket need not be refiled. If a deposition transcript is referenced, a complete copy must be filed which includes all exhibits. Within twenty-four (24) hours of filing a motion for summary judgment, the movant shall separately file an index of the cited exhibits which names each exhibit and references the docket entry at which that exhibit may be found. (*Show name of document and date filed.)
5. The responding party may file an opposing statement of material facts which responds to the moving party’s statement of material facts.

7. A responding party’s opposing statement of material facts must specifically respond to each statement in the movant’s statement by setting forth each of the individually numbered paragraphs contained in the movant’s statement and after each paragraph, detail respondent’s response or opposition.
By way of example:
2. Sarah Jones owns Blackacre. Exhibit B ¶ 12.
Admitted that Blackacre is located at 123 Main Street. Exhibit A ¶ 1. Denied that the property is vacant. Exhibit C at 5.2. Sarah Jones owns Blackacre. Exhibit B ¶ 12.
