How many copies of a pleading do I need to file?

This court only requires a party to file the original document. And, with a few exceptions, a legal professional may now electronically file the original document. You may send courtesy copies to the assigned judge, but they are unnecessary unless the judge requires them. If you want a time-stamped copy to be returned to you, you must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for this purpose. Copies may not be returned to you otherwise. Local Rule 3.03 prohibits filing discovery material.
