EXHIBIT(S) ATTACHED TO DOCUMENT

A.           IN GENERAL

1. Size Limitation:  Except as otherwise provided in these procedures, a filer shall electronically image, i.e., scan a paper exhibit filed as an attachment to a document that is less than four (4) megabytes and submit the exhibit as a .pdf file.(1)
2. Scanner Configuration: A filer must configure the scanner to scan a document at 300 dpi and in black and white, rather than in color.  An exhibit appearing in color in its original form, such as a color photograph, may be scanned in color and then filed.
3. Legibility:  A filer must verify that a scanned exhibit is legible before the exhibit is filed electronically with the Court.
4. Previously Filed Document:  A filer shall not attach as an exhibit any pleading or other document already on file with the Court in the case but should merely refer to the document.
5. Exemption:  A filer may apply to the Court for an exemption from these procedures in exceptional circumstances.

B.                VOLUMINOUS EXHIBIT

If the exhibit attached to any particular document is four megabytes or more, the document and exhibit must be filed according to the following procedure:

1. Index:  A filer must prepare an exhibit index and file the index as an attachment to the main document.
2. Separate Attachment:  Each separate exhibit must be filed as a separate attachment to the main document.
3. Size Limitation:  Each document in the submission may not exceed four megabytes in size.  The submission may not exceed 16 megabytes in size.  If an exhibit exceeds four megabytes, that exhibit must be separated into components of four megabytes or less, and each component of the exhibit must be filed as a separate attachment to the main document.
4. Example:  Following is a sample exhibit index, for which each exhibit must be filed as a separate attachment to the main document.

Exhibit                Description

A                Affidavit of Jane Brown
B                Excerpts from John Winter’s Deposition

(1) A scanned document creates a much larger file than an electronic document that is converted to .pdf format (e.g., a word processing document printed to Acrobat PDF Writer).  Please note that the file size appears in the submission section of the filing screen.  Each document in the submission should not be larger than four megabytes.  The total submission should not be larger than 16 megabytes.  Please check the file and submission size before filing electronically.

(2) In this example Exhibit C exceeds four megabytes.  C-1 contains up to four megabytes and C-2 contains the remainder of the exhibit.
