Join Settlement Conference or Closed Hearing
Alert Heading:
PROCEDURES DURING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN
Parties must meet and confer before filing any substantive motion during the funding lapse. If the motion needs urgent resolution, lead counsel must file a certification stating so. Motions without the certification will be denied without prejudice. This does not apply to administrative or ministerial motions. Consult the Temporary Standing Order (linked below) for more details.
Unless the Court has authorized a remote appearance in advance, all civil motions and criminal calendars are heard in-person in Courtroom 7 in the San Jose Courthouse, unless vacated by the Court. Civil case management conferences are heard remotely.

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 Lee’s standing orders are set forth below:
Civil Standing Order
The parties are required to submit one (1) chambers copy of all filings except for administrative motions. Chambers copies for sealing motions are addressed below in Section VII.D.
Chambers copies should be double-sided and should bear the ECF filing “stamp” (case number, docket number, date, and ECF page number) along the top of the page. All exhibits shall be clearly delineated with labels along the right side. If the filing includes exhibits over two-inches thick, the parties shall place the copies in a binder. Binders should not exceed three inches. The copies shall be marked “Chambers Copy” and submitted to the Clerk’s Office, in an envelope marked with “Judge Lee,” the case number, and “Chambers Copy.” Chambers copies shall be mailed for receipt or delivered to the Clerk’s Office within two (2) court days after the materials are filed.
For Social Security appeals, the Court requests that the Commissioner submit one chambers copy of the administrative record within five court days after electronically filing it. The chambers copy should be placed in one or more binders. Each document should be tabbed with labels along the right side. The chambers copy should be submitted to the Clerk’s Office and labeled with the case number, “Judge Lee,” and “Chambers Copy.
Chambers copies of sealing motions shall include only unredacted documents; chambers copies of redacted documents need not and shall not be submitted to the Court.
