IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THE CITY OF FRESNO,

Plaintiff,

v.

 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, UNITED 

STATES ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, 

NATIONAL GUARD BUREAU and THE 

BOEING COMPANY, 

 

Defendants.

 No. 1:06-cv-01559-OWW-GSA

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

PERMIT THE UNITED STATES TO 

FILE CERTAIN DOCUMENTARY 

EXHIBITS IN PAPER FORMAT

WHEREAS, on April 19, 2010, Defendant The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) filed a 

Motion for Summary Adjudication Re National Guard Bureau Cost Claim (Doc. 220). The 

motion is based on the argument that the United States did not sufficiently document and/or 

provide an “accurate accounting” of the more than $4 million that the National Guard Bureau 

asserts that it spent to investigate contamination at the California Air National Guard Base in 

Fresno.

WHEREAS, in order to effectively oppose this motion, the United States believes it must 

submit all of the documentation that establishes that the National Guard Bureau incurred the 

costs in question; 

WHEREAS, such supporting documentation will involve the submission of hundreds of 

pages of invoices and other contemporaneous evidence relating to the costs at issue;

WHEREAS, Local Rule 5-133(a) requires in relevant part that, “[u]nless excused by the 

Court or by the electronic filing procedures set forth in these Rules, attorneys shall file all 

documents electronically pursuant to those Rules . . . .”; 

WHEREAS, Local Rule 5-133(b)(1) permits attorneys, in exceptional circumstances and 

for specific documents, to apply for permission to file documents in paper format, with the 

decision to permit such paper filing in the sole discretion of the assigned Judge or Magistrate 

Judge;

WHEREAS, Local Rule 5-133(b)(3) requires that requests to use paper or electronic 

filing as exceptions from these rules shall be submitted as stipulations, as provided in Local Rule 

83-143; and

WHEREAS, given the significant volume of the proposed exhibits, the burden of filing 

such exhibits electronically, and the relative ease of viewing the materials in hard copy format, 

the United States believes it would be prudent and efficient, and promote judicial economy, for 

the United States to submit copies of such documents to the parties and the Court as hard copies, 

organized in binders.

STIPULATION

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and among the United States and Boeing, through 

their undersigned counsel, with the consent of the Court as provided below, that:

Pursuant to Rule 5-133, the United States may file the supporting documentation 

concerning its opposition to Boeing’s motion in hard copy format, with copies provided in 

binders to the Court and the parties.
