Why would you challenge what JJ is posting when he actually works in the legal field and posted the rule? Do you have some sort of insight that he does not? If so please post it otherwise keep it to yourself.
This judge may have dispensed with that local rule in HIS Court. I honestly can't remember. Obviously, if they don't reply by the 20th we will know it's not due until the 24th. They won't be late in replying.
