Judge Todd W. Robinson

Telephone calls to chambers are permitted only for scheduling or calendaring motion hearings or as otherwise authorized by the Court. Court personnel are prohibited from interpreting Orders, discussing the merits of a case, giving legal advice (including advice on procedural matters), assisting with filings, or speculating as to when an Order will be issued. Letters, faxes, and emails are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by the Court.

All exhibits submitted in support of motions should be excerpted to include only relevant material. All exhibits must also be clearly labeled, dated, tabbed, and indexed.

Parties must provide the Court with courtesy copies of any filings exceeding twenty (20) pages in length, including all attachments and exhibits, as soon as practicable after filing. Courtesy copies may be delivered by mail, express package delivery service, courier, or hand to chambers at 333 W. Broadway, Suite 1410, San Diego, CA 92101, or the Clerk’s Office at 333 W. Broadway, Suite 420, San Diego, CA 92101. The Court prefers courtesy copies of memoranda to be printed single-sided. If a filing has more than three (3) exhibits, the exhibits must be tabbed and listed in a table of exhibits.

When the same party (or more than one party represented by the same counsel) notices multiple motions for the same hearing date, the motions must be briefed together in a single memorandum of points and authorities not to exceed twenty-five (25) pages in length.

Absent leave of the Court, all motions for summary judgment and summary-judgment-related Daubert motions will be set for a single hearing date in the interests of judicial economy and efficiency. Accordingly, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7.1(h), no party (or more than one party represented by the same counsel) may file a memorandum exceeding twenty-five (25) pages without requesting from the Court an extension of the default page limits at least three (3) court days before the memorandum is to be filed.

For technical motions, the parties must send an email to chambers one (1) week prior to the hearing with a list of pertinent technical terms and/or proper names to assist the court reporter.

Any individual requesting to observe telephonically must contact chambers at least one (1) calendar day before the scheduled hearing to obtain the public dial-in information.

Pursuant to Section 2(h) of the ECF Manual, the fully executed Consent Form must NOT be filed on the docket with the joint motion for dismissal or notice of dismissal, but rather should be emailed to efile_robinson@casd.uscourts.gov (the "E-file Email").

File all motions in limine, including all trial-related Daubert motions, in a single, omnibus brief not to exceed twenty-five (25) pages.

File all oppositions to motions in limine, including all trial-related Daubert motions, in a single, omnibus brief not to exceed twenty-five (25) pages.

Rather than hear closing arguments, unless otherwise ordered, the parties will be permitted to file closing briefs not to exceed twenty-five (25) pages within four (4) weeks of the date on which all relevant transcripts become available.

absent extraordinary circumstances and without leave of the Court, the Court will entertain no more than five (5) motions in limine—including trial-related Daubert motions—per side. All motions in limine must be filed in a single, omnibus brief not to exceed twenty-five (25) pages.
