C.D. Cal. L.R. 11-5.1

Nonpaper

physical exhibits may not be attached to any document. A nonpaper

physical exhibit submitted as an exhibit to a document must be placed

in a secure container (labeled with the case name and number, the

docket number of the document to which it relates, and the name,

address, telephone number, and email address of the submitting party)

and lodged with a separately filed Notice of Lodging, which must

include a description of the exhibit. Unless the filer is exempt from

electronic filing under L.R. 5-4.2(a), the Notice of Lodging must be

filed electronically before lodging the exhibit, and the Notice of

Lodging, together with its NEF (see L.R. 5-3.2.1), must be presented

with the exhibit to be lodged. Counsel of record for the submitting

party must maintain copies of all exhibits submitted under this rule for

the time required in L.R. 79-3. No originals may be submitted under

this rule unless it is impossible to make a copy in any format. If it is

not possible to make a copy in any format, the submitting party must

clearly state that fact in the Notice of Lodging and must label the

exhibit as the “ORIGINAL.” Unless the Notice of Lodging requests

that an exhibit be returned to counsel, all exhibits submitted under this

rule, including originals, will be destroyed. Exhibits submitted under

this rule do not become part of the Court’s case file, are not

considered Court records, and are not available for public viewing

while under submission to the Court without a Court order. No

contraband or valuable, sensitive, or dangerous exhibits may be

submitted under this rule; such exhibits may be submitted only at the

time of a trial or hearing as permitted under L.R. 79-4.
