LCrR 49.1.2 FILING OF PAPERS, FILING OF REDACTED PLEADINGS, AND PRESENTING JUDGMENTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS TO JUDGES

(a) Place of Conventional Filing, when Allowed. Where conventional filing is permitted by the Administrative Procedures or by the assigned judge, all papers may be filed in Asheville, Charlotte, or Statesville, regardless of the division in which the case is pending.

(b) Presenting Judgments, Orders, and Other Communications to Judges. As provided by the Administrative Procedures, parties may submit proposed orders, memoranda of decision, judgments, bills of costs, and other proposed documents for consideration and entry by the Court or the Clerk of Court. Such proposed documents must be submitted through Cyberclerk and may also be submitted as attachments to a motion, brief, or notice that relates to the proposed relief sought. In any event, such proposed document must be served on all parties as provided by Fed. R. Civ. P. 5, unless an exception is provided for proceeding ex parte under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Advisory Committee Notes The requirements for electronic filing in Sections (b) and (c) were redundant. Section (c) has been amended to address the place of filing when conventional filing is permitted. Former section (d) has been eliminated as has its civil analogue in LCvR 5.2.1(d). The Rule has been moved to its present location to better correspond with the corresponding Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure.
