Reviewer note: Document sha256: 4587fd7d64c628c7e008aec3946621274a3600a85e21d7e791d7c8bcc8f9fce1. Corpus topic: COURTESY_COPIES. Published during the completeness pass — the audit found 2,753 verbatim requirements against 123 published rules. GOOGLE DOCS VEIN: 102 of the Seventeenth Circuit's 106 division procedure documents are published as Google Docs (docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-...), not as PDFs on the court's own host. Two consecutive fetches of the same Google Doc URL return DIFFERENT bytes — Google injects per-request session config — so the document_sha256 recorded here pins one render, not a stable identity, and content-hash change detection does not work on this vein. Re-verified live 2026-07-24 by text presence instead: six sampled documents still carried 100%, 100%, 100%, 91%, 100% and 100% of their published requirements.
Judge Dearing wants courtesy copies of motions and memoranda three days before hearing; anything over 20 pages including attachments is barred from email and must arrive by hand, U.S. Mail, or delivery service.
For motions, memoranda, or case law of 20 pages or more, Judge Wallace requires hard copies inside the Courthouse three to five business days before the hearing — by mail, FedEx, UPS, or hand delivery.
Judge Goodman does not participate in E-Courtesy. Hearing materials over 10 pages must arrive by U.S. mail or courier five days in advance; under 10 pages email is acceptable.
