Public Comment on Revision of the Civil Local Rules

 

The U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands is soliciting comments on proposed revisions to its Civil Local Rules, which will be renamed "Local Rules" and will govern practice in this court. The public and the bar are encouraged to  submit any comments and suggestions on the proposed revisions as soon as possible. Comments and suggestions must be received no later than Monday, March 13, 2017.

Comments and suggestions can be submitted electronically to: usdcnmi@nmid.uscourts.gov

Alternatively, hard copy of comments and suggestions may be submitted in person or by mail to:

Hon. Heather L. Kennedy
United States District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands
P.O. Box 500687
Horiguchi Building, 2nd Floor
123 Kopa Di Oru Street
Beach Road, Garapan
Saipan, MP 96950

The proposed revisions are so extensive that a redline comparison to the prior version is entirely unhelpful and is therefore not provided. Attached is a summary of the proposed revisions. This summary and the Court's proposed Local Rules and the existing Civil Local Rules are available on the Court's public website at http://www.nmid.uscourts.gov.

The court anticipates that the new Local Rules, including any revisions following the public comment period, will take effect on Monday, May 1, 2017.
