the narrow concepts of relatedness specified in the Courts’ Rules (SDNY) or Guidelines
(EDNY) for the Division of Business. Finally, the Committee believed it useful to add
cross-references to Local Civil Rules 5.2, 5.3, 6.2, 58.1 and 67.1, since they address
procedures useful in criminal as well as in civil proceedings.
2024 COMMITTEE NOTE
The list of local civil rules that apply in criminal cases has been updated to correspond
to changes made to the civil rules. In particular, Local Rule 1.6 was added to the list
because the Eastern District of New York has, in its Division of Business Rules,
requirements for lawyers in related criminal cases. Local Civil Rule 72.1 was also added
to the list because it applies to criminal proceedings under Local Criminal Rule 59.1.
2026 COMMITTEE NOTE
New Local Civil Rule 1.4.1, governing student practice, has been added to the list of
rules that apply in criminal cases.
