A party shall not file multiple motions for summary judgment without leave of the Court, which will be given only in exceptional circumstances. Motions shall be limited to 20 double-spaced pages. The sections of a motion/response/reply discussed below that address facts won’t count toward the page limit in Colo. R. Civ. P. 121 § 1-15(1)(a). The case caption, signature block, certificate of service, and attachments won’t count toward the page limit either. Motions that exceed the page limitation will be stricken with leave to refile. Motion Format Facts Section. The moving party shall use the following format: (1) the movant shall create a section of the motion titled “Statement of Undisputed Material Facts,” and shall set forth in simple, declarative sentences, separately numbered and paragraphed, each material fact which the movant believes is not in dispute and which supports movant's claim that movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. (2) Each separately numbered and paragraphed fact must be accompanied by a specific reference to material in the record which establishes that fact. General references to pleadings, depositions, or documents are insufficient if the document is over one page in length. A “specific reference” means the title of the document (“Exhibit A, Pl. Depo.,” e.g.) and a specific paragraph or page and line number; or, if the document is attached to the motion, the paragraph or page and line number. Legal Argument Section.
