California Native Plant Society, Defenders of Wildlife et al v. United States Environmental Protection Agency et al

Filing 253

ORDER. Signed by Judge Hamilton on 12/1/2009. (pjhlc2, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 12/1/2009)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 CALIFORNIA NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY, et al., Plaintiffs, v. UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, et al., Defendants. _______________________________/ The court is in receipt of two documents filed by the federal defendants, a Status Report filed on November 16, 2009, and Amended Exhibit A to the Status Report, filed on November 24, 2009. The chambers copies of both documents have been submitted in violation of Civil Local Rule 3-4(c)(2). Specifically, defendants' chambers copies are comprised of pages containing double-sided text. The local rule, however, explicitly requires that any submitted text "appear on one side only." Although Rule 3-4 expressly pertains to filed documents, a chambers copy is supposed to be an exact duplicate of the filed original. Given that this is defendants' first violation regarding chambers' copies, the court will consider the content of defendants' filings notwithstanding the improper format. Defendants are instructed to comply with all appropriate local rule requirements in the future, however, or risk the striking of any improperly submitted material. IT IS SO ORDERED.
