L.A.R. 25.1: Electronic Filing and Service

(a) Except for original petitions such as a petition for writ of mandamus or petition for review of an agency order, counsel must file all documents electronically in accordance with the procedures of L.A.R. Misc. 113. In addition to electronically filing on cm/ecf, ten paper copies of briefs and four paper copies of the appendices must be filed with the clerk for the convenience of the court. No paper copies of motions or petitions for rehearing need be filed unless directed by the clerk.

(b) Service of electronically filed documents is governed by L.A.R. Misc. 113.4. If the opposing party has not consented to electronic service, the filer must use an alternate method of service prescribed FRAP 25(c). The method of service, whether electronic through the court’s docketing system or by alternate means must be specified in the certificate of service.

(c) Litigants proceeding pro se may, but are not required, to file documents electronically.
