C.D. Cal. L.R. 5-4.5

A “mandatory chambers

copy” is an exact duplicate of an electronically filed document

submitted in paper format directly to the assigned judge. Unless

otherwise ordered by the assigned judge, one mandatory chambers

copy of every electronically filed document must be delivered to the

chambers of the assigned judge, or other designated location, no later

than 12:00 noon on the following business day. Mandatory chambers

copies must comply with L.R. 11-3, et seq. (i.e., blue-backing, font

size, page-numbering, tabbing of exhibits, etc.), unless otherwise

directed by the assigned judge. Mandatory chambers copies must be

prominently labeled MANDATORY CHAMBERS COPY on the face

page. Mandatory chambers copies must be printed from CM/ECF,

and must include: (1) the CM/ECF-generated header (consisting of the

case number, document control number, date of filing, page number,

etc.) at the top of each page; and (2) the NEF (see L.R. 5-3.2.1) as the

last page of the document. The Court’s CM/ECF Website contains

additional instructions by judges for delivery of mandatory chambers

copies, including each judge’s designated delivery location, and any

differences in the required number of copies or delivery deadline.
