UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
ORDER
Appropriate public notice and an opportunity for comment having been given,
pursuant to a majority vote of the active judges of this court;
IT IS ORDERED that effective December 3, 2018, the Local Civil Rules of the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana are hereby amended as
follows:
LR 5.4 – Certificate of Service:
Every document filed after the initial complaint must bear a certificate by the
attorney or party who files it that, contemporaneously with or before filing,
copies have been served on all parties or their attorneys in a manner
authorized by FRCP 5(b)(2) or via the court’s CM/ECF system. When a
document filed after the initial complaint is served by filing it with the
court’s electronic filing system, no certificate of service is required
when all parties are electronic filers and will receive notice through the
court’s electronic filing system. When a document that is required to be
served is served by means other than the court’s electronic filing
system, the document must include a certificate of service indicating
that the document has been served on all parties contemporaneously
with its filing with the court, or within a reasonable period of time after
the document has been filed with the court, and must list each party on
which the document has been served by means other than the court’s
electronic filing system, and the means of service.
LR 16.2 Call of the Docket
To ensure compliance with FRCP 4 (m) and 16(b)(2), the case manager in
each section of court, once a month or as often as the court deems proper,
must call all cases before the court that have been pending 120 90 days or
longer after filing of the complaint, and in which issue has not been joined.
The call must be on the regular day and time assigned for submission of
motions, and the clerk must give 14 days’ notice of the call to all counsel of
record.

any damages award, unless the court directs otherwise. A bond or other
security staying execution of a money judgment must be in the amount
of the judgment plus 20% of that amount to cover interest, costs, and
any damages award, unless the court directs otherwise.
