MEMORANDUM ORDER
Although this action was removed to this District Court
on May 3, 2013, defense counsel has ignored the explicit
directive of this District Court's LR 5.2(f) that requires the
delivery of paper copies of all filed documents for the assigned
judge's use within one business day after filing.1
To underscore
the importance of that requirement to the case management
procedures followed by this Court, the first paragraph in its
website repeats the requirement, adding that a delivery to this
Court's chambers on the date of filing, if possible, would be
appreciated (although such earlier delivery is not essential).
Despite the literal one-business-day requirement of
LR 5.2(f), this Court has customarily allowed a few days' grace
1
In an effort to monitor compliance with that requirement
(which has regrettably not always been adhered to by lawyers),
both this Court's secretary and its courtroom deputy maintain
lists of all deliveries by counsel to this Court's chambers.
Although that recordkeeping is intended to be error-free, if
counsel here were to establish that what is said in this
memorandum order is in error, the sanction called for by this
memorandum order will of course be rescinded.
time before the issuance of this type of memorandum order.
In
this instance that added time has elapsed without compliance by
defense counsel, and it is hereby ordered:
1.
that the missing copies of all filed documents
other than the original notice of removal and its exhibits
(that exception is occasioned by the fact that defense
counsel filed an Amended Notice of Removal and its exhibits
(Dkt. 8 and 8-1) on May 10) be delivered to this Court's
chambers forthwith and
2.
that such delivery be accompanied by a check for
$100 payable to the "Clerk of the District Court" by reason
of the LR 5.2(f) violation, a requirement foreshadowed by
the opening provision in this Court's website.
This Court is contemporaneously issuing its customary scheduling
order.
