Filing Exhibits on ECF. When exhibits are included with a motion, opposition brief, or reply brief, the exhibits should be filed separately on ECF. For example, if a motion is Docket No. 30, and a declaration with 10 exhibits is Docket No. 31, Exhibit A should be filed as Docket No. 31-1, Exhibit B should be filed as Docket No. 31-2, and so on. All exhibits should be filed in a searchable OCR format when possible.

If the parties are unable to reach a resolution, they must file a joint statement of at most five single-spaced pages (12-point font or greater) that: (1) describes each unresolved issue; and (2) states each party’s final proposed compromise with respect to each unresolved issue. Each party may submit supporting declarations and documentation of up to fifteen pages.

In the rare event that the parties are unable to file a joint statement, each party may file a statement of at most two pages. The statement(s) must be filed in ECF under the Civil Events category of Motions and Related Filings > Motions: General > Discovery Letter Brief.

Such copies must be marked with the notation “Chambers Copy” and submitted to the Clerk’s Office in an envelope marked with the case name, case number, and the words “Magistrate Judge Krishnan Chambers Copies.”
