Service by Overnight Delivery

U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York

Rule Set: Local Civil Rules of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York

Rule: 5.3

Jurisdiction: EDNY

Bluebook Citation: E.D.N.Y. L. Civ. R. 5.3

PRE-2024 COMMITTEE NOTE

Local Civil Rule 5.3(a), dealing with overnight delivery service, is still necessary,

because Fed. R. Civ. P. 5 has not been amended to deal with overnight delivery service.

However, many of the detailed provisions of present Local Civil Rule 5.3(a) are

unnecessary once it is made clear that overnight delivery service shall be treated the

same as service by mail.

Joint Local Rules, S.D.N.Y. and E.D.N.Y. Effective January 2, 2026

In Local Civil Rule 5.3(b), the first two sentences, dealing with service by facsimile, are

unnecessary in light of Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(2)(E), and the substance of the last sentence,

dealing with ECF, has been moved to Local Civil Rule 5.2.
