ORDER REQUIRING DEFENDANTS TO BRING MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT INTO COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL RULES CONCERNING DEPOSITIONS AND ELECTRONICALLY SIGNED DECLARATIONS

LAWRENCE O'NEILL, Magistrate Judge

On April 20, 2006, defendants Desimas and Doan ("defendants") filed a motion for summary judgment, supported by excerpts from plaintiff's deposition and defendant Desimas's declaration. A copy of the entire deposition must be submitted, either in hard copy or by e-mail. Local Rule 5-133(j). The court has no record of receipt of a copy of plaintiff's entire deposition. In addition, the certification by the shorthand reporter, included with the excerpts from plaintiff's deposition, does not bear the reporter's signature.

Further, if a filed document is electronically signed by a person not attorney of record in the case, a statement that counsel has the signed original must be included. Local Rule 7-131(f). Defendant Desimas's declaration bears his electronic signature but the required statement was not included.

Accordingly, within fifteen (15) days from the date of service of this order, defendants shall bring their motion into compliance with the Local Rules by curing the aforementioned deficiencies.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
