ORDER WAIVING PACKET SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT TO FACILITATE ELECTRONIC FILING
One or more of the parties has expressed an intention to participate in electronic filing of pleadings and documents in this case.
Wherefore,
(1) The Court hereby relieves all parties in this action of the requirement imposed by Local Rule 7.3(a) that motions and their corresponding memoranda and exhibits be collected and submitted as a package for filing with the Clerk's office.
(2) On all documents henceforth filed by any of the parties, the case number above shall be followed by the designation "ACE" (e.g., CIV 97-90000 JC/RLP-ACE).
(3) In addition to serving on all parties, the parties shall file directly with the Court, any motions, briefs in support, responsive briefs, reply briefs and exhibits relating to them whether filed electronically on the ACE server or in paper form.
(4) Parties retain the option under D.N.M.LR-Civ. 7.3(a)(3) of agreeing to unopposed extensions of time unless the extension would interfere with established case management deadlines. Timing for filing responses and replies must conform with D.N.M.LR-Civ. 7.6 unless the parties agree otherwise.
(5) Upon completion of the briefing process, the movant shall file with the Court and serve on all parties a "Notice of Completion" specifically identifying the pertinent motion ready for decision and any briefs or other documents which have been filed relating to that motion.
