1:09-CV-407 OWW DLB

ORDER RE FILING OF

ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD IN

THIS AND RECENTLY-FILED

RELATED CASES: 

1:09-CV-480 OWW DLB & 

1:09-CV-631 OWW GSA

It is the court’s preference that administrative records be

submitted on CD-ROM. However, there has been great variability

in the organizational quality of recently-submitted records in

related cases. Of particular concern is the occasional lack of

any clear relationship between indices (usually organized

according to bates stamp order) and the file structure on the CDs

submitted. It is requested that any administrative record

submitted on CD(s) in this case be accompanied by a hard copy of

an index to those records, describing by subject the content of

the record in bates-stamped order. The file names (both of

folders and individual files) on any CDs should also bear the

bates stamp ranges of the document(s) they represent. For

example, if a folder contains bates numbers 0001-0999, the folder

should be labeled “0001-0999,” and the individual files within

that folder should bear their respective bates numbers. If, for

organizational purposes, Federal Defendants also wish to include

textual titles, any such text should follow the bates stamp

range. For example, a folder could be named “0001-0999

Biological Opinion & Appendices,” with files within that folder

named “0001-0399 Biological Opinion,” “0400-0495 Appendix A,”

etc. This labeling protocol is intended to facilitate the

court’s ability to quickly locate documents cited by the parties. 

Should Federal Defendants believe a modification to this protocol

would be helpful, they may contact chambers to obtain verbal

permission for an alternative approach.
