Filing a Rule 12(b)(6) motion in the Central District of California?
The Local Rules are the floor. Each judge's standing order is the ceiling — and judges in CDCA frequently depart from the defaults on page limits, hearing days, courtesy copies, ex parte timing, and oral argument. Pick your judge, and we'll show you what changes.

How this works
- Default rule shown in gray = what the CDCA Local Rules require if your judge's standing order is silent.
- Judge rule shown in amber = what this judge's standing order requires instead.
- When a judge's standing order is silent on a topic, the default rule controls — and we say so explicitly.
- Sourced from the CDCA Local Rules and from each judge's published Standing Order. Verified as of the date shown on each judge's full procedures page.
