including attachments.
IT IS ORDERED that courtesy paper copies shall only be provided for filings that

replies, and appendices thereto) in a single binder,1 appropriately tabbed, upon the completion of
briefing. In patent cases, the parties are further directed to refer to the Court’s Discovery Order

The Court encourages the parties to consolidate the courtesy copy as practically as possible. Additional binders are
permitted, but need not be submitted if all briefing can fit into a single binder.
