UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TARA GARLICK, et al.,

 Plaintiffs,

 vs.

COUNTY OF KERN, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:13-CV-01051-LJO-JLT 

ORDER DENYING STIPULATION TO 

FILE DECLARATION IN PAPER 

FORMAT

(Doc. 41)

Before the Court is a stipulation regarding the request of Plaintiffs M.L.S., C.J.S., C.R.S., 

and E.Z.S. to file a declaration, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 377.32, in paper 

format. These Plaintiffs urge this is necessary because this statue requires a certified copy of the 

death certificate to be attached to this declaration. They request further that the Court retain the 

original document once it is scanned into the Court’s electronic filing system. 

Notably, a certified copy of a death certificate is not a unique or an irreplacable document.

Multiple copies may be purchased from the the Kern County recorder for a nominal fee. Thus, 

requiring the Court to maintain this document is unwarranted and burdensome and, as a result, the 

request is DENIED.

Instead, in the event counsel files this document, they SHALL do so via the Court’s 

CM/ECF system and, as an attachment, provide a scanned copy, including the back as necessary,

of the certified document. The declarants SHALL attest the scanned document is a true and 

correct copy of the certified record. Counsel SHALL retain the certified copy and in the event 

there is any question as to the authenticity of the document, counsel SHALL produce it for 

inspection or SHALL lodge it with the Court as directed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
