ORDER

JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge:
With respect to Defendants’ motions for summary judgment, ECF Nos. 599, 603, and
607, the parties shall confer and, no later than June 4, 2021, file a joint letter proposing a
structure for consolidation of the opposition and reply briefs to the greatest extent possible.
Additionally, with respect to Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification, ECF No. 610, and
Defendants’ motions for summary judgment, ECF Nos. 599, 603, and 607, the parties shall
adhere to the following procedure for the submission of electronic courtesy copies (which are to
be filed in addition to, rather than in place of, paper courtesy copies). No later than two business
days after the final filing with respect to each motion, the moving party shall submit electronic
courtesy copies of all motion papers in electronic folders titled with the docket number of the
relevant motion in brackets followed by a description of the motion (e.g., “[610] Plaintiffs’
Motion for Class Certification”). The folder shall contain:
1. Unredacted, text-searchable PDFs of (1) any pleading to which the motion relates
(e.g., the operative complaint); (2) the notice of motion; and (3) the moving,
opposition, and reply memoranda of law, each of which should be named with the
docket number of the document in brackets followed by a description of the file
(e.g., “[617] Plaintiffs’ Memorandum of Law in Support”);
2. A subfolder for each set of corresponding supporting documents titled with the
docket number associated with the related memorandum of law, followed by (as
appropriate) “Motion Documents,” “Opposition Documents,” or “Reply
Documents,” each of which shall contain:
a. Unredacted, text-searchable PDFs of any and all corresponding supporting
documents (e.g., Local Rule 56.1 Statements, declarations, affidavits, and
affirmations), with any exhibits not filed under seal attached as part of the
same PDF, each of which should be named with the docket number of the

document (or the docket number of the corresponding document in the
case of documents filed under seal or in redacted form) in brackets
followed by a description of the file (e.g., “[619] Declaration of David W.
Mitchell”); and
b. A sub-sub-folder containing unredacted, text-searchable PDFs of any
exhibits to a supporting document, including any documents that were
filed under seal or in redacted form, each of which should be named with
the docket number of the corresponding document in brackets followed by
“Sealed Exhibits to [LAST NAME] [Declaration/Affirmation/Affidavit]”
(e.g., “[619] Sealed Exhibits to Mitchell Declaration”). The names of the
exhibits within the sub-sub-folder should correspond to the exhibit number
(e.g., “Exhibit 1,” “Exhibit 2,” etc.), and need not include a description of
the exhibit; and
3. To the extent any documents were filed under seal or in redacted form, a
subfolder titled “Redacted Submissions with Highlighting” containing unredacted
copies of any documents that were filed in redacted form on ECF highlighting
what information was redacted, each of which should be named with the docket
number of the corresponding document and a description of the file, following by
“- Highlighted” (e.g., “[617] Plaintiffs’ Memorandum of Law in Support Highlighted” or, for exhibits, “[619-1] Exhibit 1 to Mitchell Declaration Highlighted”).
By way of example only, the directory for a hypothetical motion in limine (or “MIL”)
would appear (in part) similar to the following:

The moving party should submit the electronic courtesy copies to the Court by e-mail to
[e-mail] or, if that is not feasible due to file-size
restrictions, on one or more CD-ROMs.
SO ORDERED.
