Local Rule 30-2: Numbering of Deposition Pages and Exhibits

30-2. Numbering of Deposition Pages and Exhibits

(a) Sequential Numbering of Pages. The pages of the deposition of a single witness, even if taken at different times, must be numbered sequentially.

(b) Sequential Numbering of Exhibits. Documents identified as exhibits during the course of depositions and at trial must be numbered and organized as follows: (1) At the outset of the case, counsel must meet and confer regarding the sequential numbering system that will be used for exhibits throughout the litigation, including trial. (2) If the pages of an exhibit are not numbered internally and it is necessary to identify pages of an exhibit, then each page must receive a page number designation preceded by the exhibit number (e.g., Exhibit 100-2, 100-3, 100-4). (3) To the extent practicable, any exhibit which is an exact duplicate of an exhibit previously numbered must bear the same exhibit number regardless of which party is using the exhibit. Any version of any exhibit which is not an exact duplicate must be marked and treated as a different exhibit, bearing a different exhibit number. (4) In addition to exhibit numbers, documents may bear other numbers or letters used by the parties for internal control purposes.
