Bankr. D. Mont. — General rule
RULE 5003-2. Exhibits to Pleadings and Proofs of Claim.
All exhibits shall be filed with the pleading or proof of claim to which they belong. Each exhibit shall be filed as a separate .pdf document, or as a single .pdf document with each exhibit bookmarked and identified therein. Entities filing exhibits not prepared in electronically produced text shall scan and electronically file only excerpts of the documents that are directly relevant to the matter under consideration by the Court. Excerpted material must be clearly and prominently identified as such, and the complete exhibit must be made available immediately to attorneys and Court on request. Entities filing excerpts do so without prejudice to their right to file by electronically scanning additional excerpts or the complete document with the Court. Responding entities may file by electronically scanning additional relevant excerpts. Oversized and voluminous attachments will not be filed and will be returned by the Clerk. Filing attachments by other than electronic means is not encouraged but may be permitted at the discretion of the Court.
Comment: Each exhibit must be filed or bookmarked separately, so the Court and other parties may easily retrieve each individual exhibit from the electronic filing. Transcripts from Rule 2004 examinations or meeting of creditors pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 341 that are used for impeachment purposes do not need to be filed with the Court. Such transcripts shall be filed with the Court if they will be used for evidentiary purposes.
