E.D.N.C. Local Civil Rule 1.1
Scope and Citation of Local Civil Rules
These local civil rules shall govern civil actions and proceedings before the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina except when federal
statutes and rules govern. In admiralty cases, where a local civil rule is inconsistent
with a local admiralty rule, the local admiralty rule shall apply. In patent cases,
where a local civil rule is inconsistent with a local patent rule, the local patent rule
shall apply. These local rules should be construed, administered, and employed by
the court and the parties to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of
every action and proceeding. A judge or magistrate judge, for good cause and in his
or her discretion, may alter these rules in any particular case. These rules shall be
cited as “Local Civil Rule ___.” The Local Civil Rules posted on the district’s
website, http://www.nced.uscourts.gov/rules/Default.aspx, shall be the court’s
official record of such rules.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
