FACTUAL BACKGROUND 3.1 Plaintiff’s Failure to Dispute Defendants’ Proposed Facts Many of the relevant facts are undisputed because Black failed to dispute them. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 and Civil Local Rule 56 describe in detail the form and contents of a proper summary judgment submission.
