Hyperlinks

(a) Authorization. Hyperlinks in electronically filed documents are permitted only for providing links to cited legal references. The Court shall enter an order directing the Clerk of Court to strike and remove any document that contains an unauthorized or inappropriate hyperlink and directing the party to refile the document without the hyperlink. (b) Citation Format.

Hyperlinks to cited legal references do not replace standard citation format. Complete citations in standard citation format must be included within the text of the document. Because a hyperlink is merely a convenient mechanism for accessing legal citations in the document, neither a hyperlink nor any site to which it refers, is considered part of the court’s record. (c) Disclaimer.

The Court accepts no responsibility for, and does not endorse, any product, organization, or content at any hyperlinked site, or at any site to which that site may be linked. The Court accepts no responsibility for the availability or functionality of any hyperlink.
