These Local Civil Rules are promulgated under 28 U.S.C. § 2071 and Fed. R. Civ. P. 83.

They apply in all civil actions and proceedings governed by the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure. Each district has, under 28 U.S.C. § 137, separately adopted Division of

Business Rules that are available on their respective websites.

These Local Civil Rules take effect on January 2, 2026 (the “Effective Date”) and govern

actions pending or filed on or after that date. For actions pending on the Effective Date,

if fewer than 14 days remain to perform an action governed by these Rules, the

provisions of the previous Local Civil Rules effective on January 1, 2026, will govern.

Any reference to “this court” in the Local Civil Rules means the court in which the

relevant proceeding is pending.
