ORDER RE CHAMBERS COPIES

Respondent.
___________________________________/

15

Under General Order 45 and this Court’s standing order, a chambers copy of a paper filed

16

with the Court must be provided no later than noon on the next business day after the document is

17

filed. Because Petitioner is represented by Court-appointed counsel, and counsel is located in

18

Washington, D.C., application of the General Order and standing order here would require counsel

19

to incur not insignificant expedited mailing costs (e.g., Federal Express). Accordingly, the Court

20

hereby GRANTS Petitioner relief from General Order 45 and the standing order. More specifically,

21

the Court shall only require next-day chambers copies for substantive documents for which there is a

22

scheduled hearing in 14 days or less. For all other documents, Petitioner may use regular mail.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
