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 Wilken’s standing orders are set forth below:
Chambers copies of all non-administrative motions shall be submitted to the Clerk’s Office for receipt no later than 4:00 p.m. the business day after the documents are filed. Parties need not submit chambers copies of supporting documents, including declarations or exhibits.
Proposed orders should be e-mailed to cwpo@cand.uscourts.gov. Submission by overnight delivery such as Federal Express or UPS is sufficient.
All chambers’ copies must be double-sided, and paperclipped or binderclipped. Documents that are of a larger volume may be bound with a two-pronged fastener.
