LR 5.2 General Format Of Documents To Be Filed

(a)     Except as provided in LR 5.2(b), all documents filed must be typewritten, printed, or prepared by a clearly legible duplication process. Document text must be double-spaced, except for quoted material and footnotes, and pages must be numbered consecutively at the bottom. Documents filed after the case-initiating document must contain—on the front page and above the document's title—the case number and the name or initials of the assigned district judge and magistrate judge.

(b)     LR 5.2(a) does not apply: (1) to exhibits; and (2) in removed actions, to documents filed in state court before removal.

(c)     Documents filed by an attorney must include the attorney's registration number.

2011 Advisory Committee’s Note to LR 5.2

 The language of LR 5.2 has been amended and reorganized as part of the general restyling of the Local Rules to make them more easily understood and internally consistent. These changes are intended to be stylistic only.

 Subsection (c). Attorneys who are licensed in Minnesota must provide their Minnesota license number as their attorney-registration number. Attorneys who are admitted pro hac vice and licensed in a state other than Minnesota must provide the state of licensure and the license number as their attorney-registration number.
