LR5.5. Service of Hard Copies of Documents.

Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed to by the parties, any party serving hard copies of the following documents must make service on the day of the filing and comply with Fed. R. Civ. P. 5:

(a) A motion (regardless of when a response is due or when a hearing will be held); or

(b) Any other document that must be served on other parties pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 5 and/or these Local Rules, and for which:

(1) a response is due within twenty-one (21) days, or

(2) a hearing or conference will be held within twenty-one (21) days.

This rule applies even if the filing occurs after normal business hours and is not satisfied by placing a document in a mailbox on the filing day after mail pick-up from that mailbox for that day has been completed, unless the parties have agreed to such service.
