TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL OF

2 RECORD:
Pursuant to the Court’s Minute Order re: (1) Joint Application to File Under
3
4 Seal [Unredacted] Exhibits of the Joint Evidentiary Appendix; (2) Notice of Manual
5 Filing [Dkt. 167] dated December 4, 2014 [Dkt. 185] (hereafter “Minute Order”),
6 Plaintiffs hereby file this Amended Notice of Lodging Non-Paper Physical Exhibits
7 [Nos. 15, 25, 26, 30, 35 & 41] and Manual Filing of Unusual Exhibits [Nos. 12, 19,
8 22, 44, 48, 55, 56, 57, 61, 67, 68 & 73].
9

The Exhibits are part of the parties’ Amended Joint Evidentiary Appendix in

10 Support of Notice of Cross-Motions and Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment
11 (hereafter “Joint Appendix” or “Jt. App’x”) filed Pursuant to the Court’s December
12 5, 2014 Order [see Dkts. 187 (Vol. 1), 188 (Vol. 2), 189 (Vol. 3), 190 (Vol. 4), 191
13 (Vol. 5), 192 (Vol. 6), 193 (Vol. 7) & 194 (Vol. 8)].
14
Local Rule (“L.R.”) 5-4.2(b)(1) exempts certain “Non-Paper or Other
15
Unusual” documents from Plaintiffs’ electronic filing requirement. Exhibits 15, 25,
16
26, 30, 35 and 41 (described in detail below) are “non-paper” exhibits such as CDs
17
or DVDs and are exempted from electronic filing. See L.R. 5-4.2(b)(1). Local Rule
18
11-5.1 further provides that non-paper physical exhibits “shall not be attached to any
19
document,” but instead “shall be placed in a secure container identified by the case
20
name . . . [etc.].” Exhibits 12, 19, 22, 44, 48, 55, 56, 57, 61, 67, 68, and 73 (also
21
described in detail below) are “unusual” paper exhibits because the size and nature
22
of these exhibits makes it impracticable for them to properly scan into PDF format.
23
24 These Exhibits are over-sized “certified” copies issued by the U.S. Copyright
25 Registrar’s Office or the National Archives and Records Administration Office. As
26 such, the certification for these exhibits also includes unique binding (part of the
27 certification process) which would be destroyed by electronic filing or a unique
28 embossed individual seal which cannot be scanned into PDF format or otherwise

-1-

1

duplicated for electronic filing. Since the authenticity and admissibility of these

2

“certified” exhibits are relevant and necessary in deciding Plaintiffs’ motion for

3

summary-judgment, Plaintiffs need to lodge the original “certified” documents. In

4

addition, Plaintiffs have included a scanned (although limited) PDF version of the

5

exhibits in the Joint Appendix as requested by L.R. 11-5.4 (filing oversized

6

exhibits).

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Plaintiffs hereby resubmit to the Court for
