LOS ANGELES – NEW COURTESY COPY PROCEDURES FOR CIVIL e-FILING

In certain instances, and pursuant to the General Order Re Mandatory Electronic Filing for Civil, printed courtesy copies must be submitted to the Court. Proof of electronic submission must be submitted with all courtesy copies.

Regardless of the time of electronic filing, a printed courtesy copy (along with proof of electronic submission) is required for the following documents:

– Any printed document required pursuant to a Standing or General Order
– Pleadings and motions (including attachments such as declarations and exhibits) of 26 pages or more
Pleadings and motions that include points and authorities
– Demurrers
– Anti-SLAPP filings, pursuant to Code Civ. Proc., § 425.16
– Motions for Summary Judgment/Adjudication
– Motions to Compel Further Discovery
– Nothing in the General Order precludes a judicial officer from requesting a courtesy copy of additional documents. Courtroom specific courtesy copy guidelines can be found at www.lacourt.org on the Civil webpage under “Courtroom Information.”
