Opinion
CASE NO. 2:12-cv-11635
12-12-2012
BARRY COLEMAN, 363101, Petitioner, v. LLOYD RAPELJE, Warden, Respondent.
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
MAG. DAVID R. GRAND
Order Granting Respondent's Ex Parte Motion
For Leave to File Exhibits In The Traditional Manner
Respondent seeks the Court's leave to file a video of a police interview in the traditional manner because the recording cannot be authentically converted to electronic format. Pursuant to Rule 18(c) of the Electronic Filing Policies and Procedures, a party may file an exhibit in the traditional manner if the exhibit is a physical object that cannot authentically be converted to PDF format. The Court agrees that the video recordings cannot be authentically converted to electronic form as required by Rule 18(a). Therefore, the motion will be granted.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Respondent's ex parte motion for leave to file an exhibit in the traditional manner (Doc. #9) is GRANTED.
It is further ORDERED that Respondent must file the exhibit in the traditional manner with the Clerk of the Court and deliver the Judge's copy to chambers.
