1Opinion of the Court
KANNE, Circuit Judge.
James Ciomber sued Cooperative Plus, Inc., alleging that the company was responsible for an explosion fueled by lique-fled-petroleum (LP) gas that injured him and damaged his house. After the district court excluded the testimony of Ciomber’s expert witness, see Fed.R.Civ.P. 37(c)(1), and disregarded Ciomber’s statement of proposed material facts, see Loc. R. 56.1(b) (N.D.Ill.), it granted Cooperative Plus summary judgment because he proffered no evidence showing that the company caused the explosion. We affirm.
