Local Civil Rule 1.2. Night Depository
A night depository with an automatic date stamp will be maintained by the clerk of the Southern District in the Pearl Street Courthouse and by the clerk of the Eastern District in the Brooklyn and Central Islip Courthouses. After regular business hours, papers for the district court may be deposited only in the night depository. Those papers will be considered as having been filed in the district court as of the date stamped thereon, which will be deemed presumptively correct. Filings that must be made via the Electronic Case Filing (ECF) system may not be made by using the night depository.
