2.11 Hyperlinks In order to preserve the integrity of the Court record, attorneys wishing to insert hyperlinks in filings must continue to use the traditional citation method for the cited authority, in addition to the hyperlink.

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. 2.12 Sequence of Pleadings An initiating document must be electronically filed and docketed separately.
