Local Rule LCvR6.2: Meaning of "Inaccessible"

LCvR6.2 Meaning of "Inaccessible."

For purposes of Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a)(3) and LCvR6.1, the clerk's office is "inaccessible" when it is not open for public business due to inclement weather or other conditions such as power outages or security lock-downs, notwithstanding that electronic filing procedures may still be available. If the clerk's office is inaccessible for any part of a day under this rule, it is deemed to be inaccessible for the entire day. To the extent possible, the clerk's office will post closings on the court's website. This rule governs only the effect of physical inaccessibility of the clerk's office, not technical failures of the court's CM/ECF system, for which separate provision is made in the ECF Manual, Section II.F.1.
