C.D. Cal. L.R. 5-4.6.2

If a registered CM/ECF filer

needs to file a document electronically, but is unable to do so,

the filer must immediately contact the CM/ECF Help Desk by

e-mail or telephone as posted on the CM/ECF Website, unless a

“Notice of CM/ECF Unavailability” covering that time period

has been posted on the Court’s CM/ECF Website. If no Notice

of CM/ECF Unavailability has been posted, the filer shall

attempt to file the document electronically at least two times,

separated by at least one hour. If, after at least two attempts,

the filer cannot electronically file the document, the document

will be accepted for filing by the Clerk in paper format that

same day, if time permits. If a filer has complied with this

section, and the delay of being unable to file a document

electronically causes the document to be untimely, the filing

shall be accompanied by a declaration or affidavit setting forth

the facts of the filer’s failed attempts to file electronically,

together with an appropriate application for leave to file the

document. Nothing in this Local Rule authorizes the Court to

extend a deadline that, by statute or rule, may not be extended.

A history of technical failures lasting longer than one hour will

be posted on the CM/ECF Website.
