WARNING

For law and motion filings—especially complex motions or motions exceeding 30 pages with exhibits—the Court strongly appreciates a printed, tab-separated courtesy copy with proof of e-filing delivered by 4:30 p.m. the same business day, or by 10:00 a.m. the next business day if efiled after 4:30 p.m.

With a busy courtroom that is frequently in trial, Department 410 reviews and analyzes law and motion best in paper form. This is especially true for complex motions or motions that exceed 30 pages (with exhibits). The Court strongly appreciates a printed courtesy copy with inserted tab separators between exhibits (along with proof of electronic submission) to be delivered to Department 410 by 4:30 p.m. on the same business day the document is efiled. If the efiling is submitted after 4:30 p.m., the courtesy copy should be delivered to Department 410 no later than 10:00 a.m. the next business day. All courtesy copies with attachments should have physical identifying tabs separating each such attachment.

WARNING

Opposing parties should file ex parte oppositions early and deliver a courtesy copy to the Court, since an opposition filed at 8:30 a.m. on the hearing date is unlikely to be seen before the hearing.

Because the Court takes the bench each day at 8:30 a.m., as a practical matter an opposition filed at 8:30 a.m. on the date of the hearing is unlikely to have been seen by the Court prior to the ex parte hearing. The opposing party should make every effort to file its opposition earlier and provide the Court with a courtesy copy delivered to the Court.
