PRE-2024 COMMITTEE NOTE
Local Civil Rule 5.3(a), dealing with overnight delivery service, is still necessary,
because Fed. R. Civ. P. 5 has not been amended to deal with overnight delivery service.
However, many of the detailed provisions of present Local Civil Rule 5.3(a) are
unnecessary once it is made clear that overnight delivery service shall be treated the
same as service by mail.
Joint Local Rules, S.D.N.Y. and E.D.N.Y.
Effective January 2, 2026
In Local Civil Rule 5.3(b), the first two sentences, dealing with service by facsimile, are
unnecessary in light of Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(2)(E), and the substance of the last sentence,
dealing with ECF, has been moved to Local Civil Rule 5.2.
