E.D.N.Y. Local Civil Rule 1.1
Application of Rules
These Local Civil Rules are promulgated under 28 U.S.C. § 2071 and Fed. R. Civ. P. 83.
They apply in all civil actions and proceedings governed by the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. Each district has, under 28 U.S.C. § 137, separately adopted Division of
Business Rules that are available on their respective websites.
These Local Civil Rules take effect on January 2, 2026 (the “Effective Date”) and govern
actions pending or filed on or after that date. For actions pending on the Effective Date,
if fewer than 14 days remain to perform an action governed by these Rules, the
provisions of the previous Local Civil Rules effective on January 1, 2026, will govern.
Any reference to “this court” in the Local Civil Rules means the court in which the
relevant proceeding is pending.
For relevant historical context for this local rule, consult the Appendix of Committee Notes.
History
PRE-2024 COMMITTEE NOTE The Committee recommends that Local Civil Rule 1.1 be reworded in order to make clear that the Local Civil Rules apply in all civil actions and proceedings governed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 2024 COMMITTEE NOTE The amendments are intended to serve three purposes. First, the amendments clarify the authority pursuant to which these Local Civil Rules are promulgated. Second, the amended rule points out that the Division of Business Rules of the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York may be found on each court’s website; these Division of Business Rules had formerly been appended to the Local Rules. Finally, because the 2022 amendments contain several substantive changes, Local Civil Rule 1.1 now includes a provision stating the effective date of those amendments.
