All electronically filed Limited, Unlimited and Complex Civil documents are subject to the most recent General Order Re Mandatory Electronic Filing for Civil. All electronically filed Complex Civil documents are also subject to the following: a) Fees and Costs for Electronically Filed Documents 1) Absent a fee waiver order, all fees due upon the filing of a document will be assessed and collected at the time of the electronic filing, including, but not limited to, first paper, motion, complex, and pro hac vice motion fees. 2) If a motion is electronically filed that relates to multiple cases, only one motion fee will be assessed. However, if multiple motions that relate to multiple cases are electronically filed, a fee for each separate motion will be collected at the time of the electronic filing. b) Judicial Council Coordination Proceedings Filings 1) For Judicial Council Coordination Proceedings (JCCP) cases, all electronically filed documents must reflect the JCCP action number and at least one underlying case number. 2) A filing party must have authority or standing to file in the referenced case. 3) Add-On Petitions to Coordinate a. An add-on petition to coordinate cases already filed in Los Angeles Superior Court with a JCCP assigned to Los Angeles County does not need to include a copy of the Los Angeles Superior Court complaint(s). There will be no fee assessed at the time of the electronic filing for the add-on petition. b. An add-on petition to coordinate newly filed Los Angeles Superior Court cases with a JCCP assigned to Los Angeles County must include a copy of the new Los Angeles Superior Court complaint(s). The first paper filing fee(s) will be assessed at the time of the electronic filing for the add-on petition. c. An add-on petition to coordinate cases originally filed in any county other than Los Angeles with a JCCP assigned to Los Angeles County must include a copy of the out-of-county complaint(s). There will be no fee assessed at the time of the electronic filing for the add-on petition. d. If there are any outstanding appearance or complex fees for the coordinated case, this issue will be addressed at the hearing on the petition. 4) For any motion electronically filed on one case and applied to multiple cases, the submitting party must include a list of cases to which the motion will apply. This list must be submitted with the motion as a separate document in the same electronic envelope. See Template A, which is attached to this order. 5) For actions in which a single pro hac vice motion fee is charged pursuant to a court order, the submitting party must electronically file the application in a single case and submit a list of all cases to which this fee will apply. 6) The court has approved providers of “bulletin board” or integrated informal communications, which can be found on the court’s website.
