Rule 8.09 - Conventional filing of documents(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following types of documents may be filed conventionally and need not be filed electronically, unless expressly required by the court. (1) Documents filed under seal. A motion to file a document under seal shall be filed and served through the EFS. However, the documents to be filed under seal shall be filed in paper form.(2) Exhibits and real objects. Exhibits to declarations that are real objects (i.e., construction materials, core samples, etc.) or other documents (i.e., plans, manuals, etc.), which otherwise may not be comprehensibly viewed in an electronic format, may be filed and served conventionally in paper form.(3) Documents filed in open court. When it is not feasible for a party to convert a paper document to an electronic form prior to filing, a judge may allow a party to file the document in paper form in open court. The clerk shall then use the conversion system to file and serve the document through the EFS.Added effective 4/11/2006; amended effective 1/1/2020.
