Standing Order: 26C5000003 Misc. No. In relevant part, Local Rule of Court Rule 1.10(n) requires that “Applications for entry of a judgment that include an instrument, contract, or written obligation ... be electronically filed and the original instrument ... be filed at the Clerk's office via conventional methods.” Rule 1.10(n)'s requiring that an original instrumentbe filed has created a deleterious effect on the Court's ability to efficiently process filings in civil cases. To that end, and consistent with the holding found in Kahn v. Lasorda's Dugout, Inc. (2003) 109 Cal.App.4th 1118, the Court shall have discretion to accept a copy of the original instrument. (See also California Evidence Code § 1521 and Califomia Rules of Court, rule 3.1806.) As of the effective date of this Standing Order, a copy of the instrument, contract, or written obligation may be filed electronically.

Instead, the clerk is authorized to accept a copy of the instrument, contract, or written obligation submitted with the request/application for entry of judgment. THIS ORDER IS EFFECTIVE ON APRIL 16, 2026, AND WILL CONTINUE IN EFFECT UNLESS RESCINDED OR MODIFIED BY THIS COURT.
