Larson, Deputy STANDING ORDER CONCERNING ELECTRONICALLY FILED DOCUMENTS On April 26, 2024, the Court mandated eFiling for all parties represented by attorneys. To improve efficiency in the processing and intake of electronically filed documents, and to reduce delays associated with the review of bundled and combined filings, the Court is implementing a new formatting requirement for electronically filed documents in all non- Criminal cases. This change is intended to support faster processing and improved document turnaround times going forward. Henceforth, and pursuant to California Rules of Court and the Marin County Superior Court Local Rules governing electronic filing, the Court hereby orders as follows: 1. Documents Must be Electronically Filed Individually and Separately - Each document that requires a file stamp and to be docketed as a separate filing must be| electronically filed as its own individual and separate PDF document (e.g., Motion, Memorandum of Points and Authorities, Declaration, Notice, Proof of Service, Request; Response, Opposition, etc.). Bundle-submitted documents with other documents in the same case will no longer be allowed. Separate Transactions and Unique Receipts - Each document requiring a file stamp or to be received must be transmitted in a manner that generates a unique and individual transaction receipt (and, where applicable, a distinct transaction number) for that electronically filed document. . Attachments Must Still Accompany Relevant Filings - Any supporting documents may continue to be submitted as accompanying documents consistent with applicable rules and the Court’s electronic filing requirements. Attachments should be clearly identified and associated with the specific primary document they support. Officer URT

This bundle is exempt from the above requirements. 5. Compliance With California Rules of Court (CRC) - Attorneys must continue to comply with CRC 2.250 through 2.261 when submitting any documents that are filed electronically. The Clerk’s Office may reject filings for correction if an electronic filing combines multiple documents that require separate file stamps into a single PDF, or if such documents are submitted together in one transaction when this Order requires them to be filed separately. This Order does not alter page limits, exhibit rules, bookmarking requirements (if any), sealing procedures, or any other filing requirements. All existing requirements pursuant to the CRC and the Marin County Superior Court Local Rules remain in effect unless expressly modified by this Order and subject to further order of the Court. IT IS SO ORDERED. 3 Dated: February , 2026 Stephen P. Freccero Presiding Judge
