Local Rule AP 2.5: Attachments/Non-Trial Exhibits
D.N.H. — General rule
2.5 Attachments/Non-Trial Exhibits
(a) Submitted with Main Document as Separate Attachments. Each exhibit or attachment to a main document shall be electronically filed as a separate attachment to a motion or pleading ("main document"), shall be individually numbered/lettered, and shall be followed by a short description of the document in the "description" field, which shall not exceed five (5) words. If attachments include more than one exhibit, the Filing User need not submit a separate table of contents or index as otherwise required by LR 5.1(a)(2) as the documents will be separately hyperlinked and indexed in the ECF system.
(b) Excerpted Format. A Filing User may submit as attachments and non-trial exhibits only those excerpts of the referenced documents that are directly germane to the matter under consideration by the court. Excerpted material must be clearly and prominently identified as such. Filing Users must promptly provide excerpted documents in full to any party making such a request. Responding parties may timely file additional excerpts, or the complete document, if they believe these additional submissions are directly germane. The court may require the parties to file additional excerpts or the complete document.
(c) Bulky Attachments, Physical Exhibits and Demonstrative Evidence. Attachments and non-trial exhibits that cannot reasonably be filed in an electronically converted or scanned PDF format, such as bulky attachments, physical exhibits, demonstrative evidence, and video or audio tapes, may be conventionally filed.
(d) Attachments/Non-Trial Exhibits Conventionally Filed in ECF Case.
(1) Notice of Conventional Filing. If an attachment or exhibit is submitted conventionally in an ECF case, the Filing User shall electronically file a Notice of Conventional Filing on a form prescribed by the clerk's office in the place where the attachment or exhibit would have been submitted electronically as an attachment to the main document.
(2) Filing Date. If an attachment or exhibit is conventionally filed, the main document shall be deemed filed upon the issuance of the Notice of Electronic Filing, provided that the conventionally submitted matters are filed and served within 72 hours. A paper copy of the Notice of Electronic Filing shall be attached to the conventionally submitted matter.
(3) Maintained in the Clerk's Office. If an attachment or exhibit is conventionally filed, it will be maintained and available for inspection in the clerk's office and will not be added to the court's electronic docket.
