Local Rule L.R. 11-5.4: Size of Paper Exhibits to Documents

L.R. 11-5.4 Size of Paper Exhibits to Documents. Whenever possible, exhibits must be formatted for 8 ½ x 11 inch paper and filed under L.R. 11-5.2. Exhibits that are too large to scan must be folded in such a manner as not to exceed an 8 ½ x 11 inch sheet and lodged with the Clerk in paper format. Unless otherwise exempt from electronic filing under L.R. 5-4.2(a), the party presenting exhibits to the Clerk for lodging in paper format must first electronically file a Notice of Lodging setting forth why the exhibits cannot be filed electronically. The Notice of Lodging, together with its NEF (see L.R. 5-3.2.1), must be presented with the exhibits to be lodged. Counsel of record for the submitting party must maintain copies of all exhibits submitted under this rule for the time required in L.R. 79-3. No originals may be submitted under this rule unless it is impossible to make a copy in any format. If it is not possible to make a copy in any format, the submitting party must clearly state that fact in the Notice of Lodging and must label the exhibit as the "ORIGINAL." Unless the Notice of Lodging Requests that an exhibit be returned to counsel, all exhibits submitted under this rule, including originals, will be destroyed. Exhibits submitted under this rule do not become part of the Court's case file, are not considered Court records, and are not available for public viewing while under submission to the Court without a Court order.
