Judge Jane J. Boyle -- U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas
warning
Key Traps — Where Counsel Gets Caught
- 1. Except as provided in Judge Boyle's Scheduling orders in civil and criminal cases, DO NOT EMAIL THE COURT. Communications through e-mail, as opposed to electronic filing, do not contain the same safeguards, nor do they constitute official filings made as part of the record. Accordingly, under no circumstances may a party request relief or send other communications or notices to the Court via e-mail. Only proposed orders sent to the Boyle Orders email address, as outlined above in paragraph II. H., will be reviewed. All other emails sent to Court staff or the Boyle Orders or Boyle Clerk email addresses will be disregarded without notice.
- 2. Effective 4/23/26 - Judge Boyle requires a paper copy of any motion or brief that spans 25 or more pages (excluding title page, table of contents, table of authorities, and signature block) and any appendix that spans 50 or more pages. Judge Boyle does not require a paper copy of any other electronic filing.
