Lead counsel requirements
👤 Judge Guaderrama — standing order

IT IS ORDERED that before any party files a Motion for Bill of Costs, they should first review the following applicable law. Second, they should submit their proposed bill of costs to opposing counsel for their review in light of the applicable law. Third, if there are any areas of disagreement, the parties shall meet, confer, and be prepared to compromise, making every effort to submit an "agreed" bill of costs to the Court. However, if the parties have a legitimate dispute on which they cannot agree, they shall file a motion—in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54 and Local Court Rule CV-54—indicating their areas of disagreement, and the Court will set a hearing at which time LEAD TRIAL COUNSEL will be ORDERED to appear and explain why they have not been able to resolve their differences.
