PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the chambers copy of Plaintiffs’ exhibits to the Declaration
of D. Victoria Baranetsky was submitted in a format that is not usable by the court.

15

The chambers copy is not usable because it

16

[ ]

consists of a stack of loose paper wrapped with a rubber band;

17

[ ]

consists of a stack of loose paper fastened with a binder clip or a paper clip;

18

[ ]

is too thick to permit secure fastening with a staple, and is fastened with a
brad-type fastener that is too short for the thickness of the document;

19
20

[x]

has no tabs for the voluminous exhibits;

21

[ ]

includes exhibits that are illegible;

22

[ ]

includes exhibits that are unreadable because the print is too small;

23

[ ]

26

[x]

Exhibits must be divided with numbered,

27

exhibit tabs (1-41), rather than blank, post-it notes, along the righthand side or bottom, and should

28

be physically attached to the declaration of D. Victoria Baranetsky using a two-hole puncher along

1
