LR IA 7-3. CITATIONS OF AUTHORITY
(a) References to an act of Congress must include the United States Code citation, if available. References to federal regulations must include the Code of Federal Regulations' title, section, page, and year.
(b) When a Supreme Court decision is cited, only the citation to the United States Reports must be given. When a decision of a court of appeals, a district court, or other federal court has been reported in the Federal Reporter System, that citation must be given. When a decision of a state appellate court has been reported in the West's National Reporter System, that citation must be given. All citations must include the specific page(s) on which the pertinent language appears.
(c) Electronically filed documents may contain hyperlinks to other portions of the same document and to a location on the Internet that contains a source document for a citation.
(1) Hyperlinks to cited authority may not replace standard citation format. Complete citations must be included in the text of the filed document. The submitting party is responsible for the availability and functionality of any hyperlink.
(2) Neither a hyperlink nor any site to which it refers will be considered part of the official record. Hyperlinks are simply convenient mechanisms for accessing material cited in a filed document. If a party wishes to make any hyperlinked material part of the record, the party must attach the material as an exhibit.
(3) The court neither endorses nor accepts responsibility for any product, organization, or content at any hyperlinked site, or at any site to which that site may be linked.

(e) References to exhibits or attachments to documents must include citations to the specific page(s) being referenced.
