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 Alsup’s standing orders are set forth below:
In electronic-filing cases, each courtesy copy lodged with chambers pursuant to Civil Local Rule 5-1(e) shall be clearly marked “Chambers Copy — Do Not File” and shall be delivered in an envelope clearly marked with the presiding judge’s name and case number. A hard chamber copy for hyperlinked electronic courtesy copies is required for any briefings that rely on more than 50 pages of briefing plus exhibits and/or declarations; and may also be required for any substantive motion with exhibits. In cases that have been referred to a magistrate judge for discovery, each courtesy copy for any matter pending before the magistrate judge (e.g., a discovery motion) shall be delivered in an envelope that (1) is clearly marked with the presiding judge’s name and case number and (2) indicates that it is to be delivered to the chambers of the magistrate judge.
Please do not provide courtesy copies for administrative motions, including administrative motions to file under seal. Please also do not provide courtesy copies for redacted versions of electronically-filed documents. Where a document electronically filed on the public docket is redacted in whole or in part and is also the subject of an administrative motion to file under seal, please provide only a single courtesy copy that is completely unredacted. For example, if a party files a partially-redacted version (with all requested redactions clearly indicated) as part of an administrative motion to seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, then the filing party should provide a courtesy copy of only the unredacted version.
