On March 22, 2012, defendants electronically filed their Opposition to Plaintiffs’
Supplemental Material. Defendants have violated General Order 45 and the Court’s
Standing Orders, however, by failing to deliver to the Clerk’s Office “no later than noon on
the business day following the day that the papers are filed electronically, one paper copy
of each document that is filed electronically . . . marked ‘Chambers Copy’ and . . . clearly
marked with the judge’s name, case number, and ‘Chambers Copy-Do Not File.’” See
General Order 45 § VI.G; see also Standing Orders for Civil Cases Assigned to the
Honorable Maxine M. Chesney ¶ 2.
Defendants are hereby ORDERED to comply with General Order 45 and the Court’s
Standing Orders by immediately submitting a chambers copy of their Opposition to
Plaintiffs’ Supplemental Material.

1

The Court has previously advised defendants of their failure to comply with General

2

Order 45 and the Court’s Standing Order in connection with earlier-filed documents. (See

3

Order, filed January 18, 2012.) Such reminder appears to have had little to no effect on

4

compelling compliance therewith.

5

Parties are expected to comply with court rules without repeated reminders.

6

Accordingly, defendants are hereby advised that the Court will impose sanctions, including,

7

but not limited to, striking from the record any electronically-filed document of which a

8

chambers copy has not been timely provided to the Court.

9

IT IS SO ORDERED.
