Very unlikely!!
The lawyer did this themselves, and we say it was just a draft not meant to be filed. We have seen this several times across the country. Stupid stupid stupid

It's more likely that someone re-used a draft from a different district that actually has these local rules, and didn't change the citation to the local rules for the germane district.
Very, very sloppy if true, but not as bad as using AI, I would say.

So just incompetent, not unethical.

Tell the judge since the cameras are her order, she can dip into her funds and pay for them.

Better yet, declare these judges as nonessential and send them and staff home without pay.

Well, the judge in the Comey case already making clear he will nit pick everything from the Trump DOJ to the point of sounding absurd.
This is from Judge Michael Nachmanoff's order yesterday denying US Attorney Lindsey Halligan's request to expedite approval of a filter team to review potentially privileged materials in the case.
Keep in mind--Patrick Fitzgerald was brought on board on Sept 29. Comey was arraigned on Oct 8 after which Nachmanoff set a motion schedule with Oct 20 deadline.
Halligan's first motion related to a filter team was Oct 13 then entered an motion to expedite on Oct 19.
Yet Nachmanoff expected the DOJ to prepare a proposal for a filter team immediately?...before the indictment?...before the arraignment...??--because the government (not under Trump mind you) has had the evidence pursuant to another investigation for years?
And Nachmanoff claims Fitzgerald's conflict was obvious years ago because of the 2019 DOJ IG report identifying him as a conduit in Comey's leak of confidential, and in some instances, classified information?
This is ABSURD. And it reminds me of the time Judge Chutkan told Trump's attorneys in the J6 cases they should have been reading discovery evidence in the case BEFORE the indictment to prepare for trial--referring to the J6 committee report and news coverage.
Hopefully a motion to recuse is forthcoming.
