IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are a case participant (attorney, party, witness, or other person who will actively participate in the hearing), it is strongly recommended that you join Zoom using the Zoom application rather than by a telephone connection. If you must appear by telephone, the numbers posted for each judge are for the public and are listen-only, so you will need to contact the Courtroom Deputy (CRD) at least one business day before the hearing to request a Zoom invitation (which will be sent via email) in order to join the hearing as a case participant.

Chambers Copy Requirements
The processing of unnecessary chambers copies wastes resources and burdens the court. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 5-1(d)(7), chambers copies should not be submitted unless required by the assigned judge’s standing order or specifically requested by the assigned judge.
Judges’ standing orders may include additional requirements and may differ from the local rules in other particulars. If they are not in agreement, a judge’s standing order supersedes the local rules.
The pertinent parts of Judge Davila’s standing orders are set forth below:
The parties are required to submit chambers copies of pleadings (complaints, answers, cross-complaints, etc.) and briefing and supporting materials for dispositive motions. 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.
When all or a portion of a filing has been sealed, the parties shall submit only the unredacted version of that filing. Chambers copies of unredacted documents shall clearly indicate the portions that are subject to sealing orders.
Whenever possible, the spine of a binder containing chambers copies should not exceed three inches in width, even if this limitation results in the use of multiple binders. Documents should be printed on both sides of each sheet of paper.
