Monospaced fonts (such as on a typewriter) may not have more than 10 characters per linear inch. All quotations longer than 50 words must be indented. All pages of each pleading or other papers filed with the court (except exhibits) must be numbered consecutively.

If exhibits are electronically filed, they must be separated by pages inserted and labeled with the exhibit number or letter. Filers must reduce oversize exhibits by xerographic or other similar means to 8½-by-11 inches unless the reduction would destroy legibility or authenticity. An oversize exhibit that cannot be reduced must be filed separately with a captioned cover sheet identifying the exhibit(s) and the document(s) to which it refers.

(2) If affidavits or declarations are used, they must be filed at the same time as the paper they refer to, but as separately captioned documents.

A properly completed § 362 information cover sheet, on colored paper (unless electronically filed), must be attached as Exhibit A to a motion for relief from the automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362 or opposition to such a motion. Failure to comply with any of these provisions may result in sanctions, denial of the motion, or other adverse ruling.

The procedures are available from the clerk or on the court’s website.
