Revised: March 18, 2020 EMERGENCY INDIVIDUAL RULES AND PRACTICES IN LIGHT OF COVID-19 Alison J. Nathan, United States District Judge Chambers Email: [email protected] Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, these Emergency Individual Rules and Practices apply to all matters before Judge Nathan (whether criminal or civil and whether involving a pro se party or all counseled parties), and they are a supplement to Judge Nathan’s standard Individual Rules and Practices.

In the event that a party or counsel is unable to submit a document electronically — either by ECF or email — the document may be mailed to the Court. To the maximum extent possible, however, this means of delivery should be avoided, as delivery of mail to the Court is likely to be delayed. 2. Conferences and Proceedings A. In Civil Cases.
