2. “We reject [appellant’s] claim that we should consider the contents of [the] deposition[ ] of his expert[ ] taken prior to the granting of summary judgment below but not submitted to the district court before summary judgment was entered. [Appellant] merely referred to th[is] expertf’s] opinions ... in his brief in opposition of defendants’ motion for summary judgment. The district court did not err in declining to rely upon [appellant’s] statements of what th[is] deposition!] contained when the deposition[ ] [itself was] not submitted to the district court. We also decline to consider th[is] deposition[] on appeal because [it] properly w[as] not considered by the district court.”
