Does a mandatory chambers copy require blue backing, labels, or any other noticing?
A mandatory chambers copy must comply with Local Rule 11-3, i.e., blue backed, font size, page numbering, tabbed exhibits, etc., or as otherwise directed by the assigned judge. The mandatory chambers copy must be prominently labeled MANDATORY CHAMBERS COPY on the face page. The mandatory chambers copy must include the NEF as the last page of the document. The court’s CM/ECF website contains additional instructions by judges for delivery of a mandatory chambers copy in the Frequently Asked Section of the webpage. Please refer to the general order on electronic filing for further instructions on mandatory chambers copy.
