District Judge Edward J. Davila

Courtesy/Chambers Copy Requirements

The submission of chambers copies is often required for electronically filed documents. Whereas the local rules state whether and how soon chambers copies must be submitted, judges’ individual standing orders sometimes create additional requirements and may differ from the local rules in other particulars. If they are not in agreement, these orders supersede the local rules.

View general information requirements for courtesy/chambers copies under the local rules.

The pertinent parts of Judge Davila’s standing orders are set forth below:

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 5-1(e)(7), the parties are required to lodge copies of pleadings for chambers. The printed copies shall be marked “Chambers Copy – Do Not File” and shall be clearly marked with the case number and name of the assigned judge. Chambers copies shall be mailed or delivered to the Clerk’s Office. Parties shall not file a paper copy of any document with the Clerk’s Office that has already been filed electronically.
