On December 21, 2007, defendants electronically filed an answer to plaintiffs’

complaint. On January 9, 2008, defendants electronically filed an amended answer to

plaintiffs’ complaint. As to each such filing, defendants have violated General Order 45 and

the Court’s Standing Orders, however, by failing to deliver to the Clerk’s Office “no later

than noon on the business day following the day that the papers are filed electronically, one

paper copy of each document that is filed electronically . . . marked ‘Chambers Copy’ and .

. . clearly marked with the judge’s name, case number, and ‘Chambers Copy-Do Not File.’” 

See General Order 45 § VI.G; see also Standing Orders for Civil Cases Assigned to the

Honorable Maxine M. Chesney ¶ 2.

Defendants are hereby ORDERED to comply with General Order 45 and the Court’s

Standing Orders by immediately submitting a chambers copy of the above-referenced

Court’s Standing Order to provide a chambers copy of each electronically-filed document,

the Court may impose sanctions, including, but not limited to, striking from the record any

electronically-filed document of which a chambers copy has not been timely provided to the

Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
