Local Rule LR3-110. Service of notices and the mailing of other pleadings.

[Related Statewide Rules 1-005, 5-103, and 10-104 NMRA] A. Service of notices and pleadings. All attorneys who maintain an office in Doña Ana County and who consent in writing, will have an appropriate box or other place designated in the Third Judicial District Court for service of court notices, orders, and other court documents. Counsel will apply using a form approved by the district court for that purpose. Except for court-initiated documents, the court will not mail notices or pleadings to counsel who do not consent or who do not maintain an office in Dona Ana County unless a pre-addressed and stamped envelope is provided. Pleadings will be mailed to pro se litigants only if pre-addressed and stamped envelopes are provided. B. Attorney boxes; service by court. Attorneys’ boxes are for the court’s use only in serving notices, judgments, and other court documents. Placement of notices and pleadings in the attorney’s box by court personnel constitutes service. The date when the court’s document is placed in the box shall be stamped on the document. C. Attorney boxes; non-court use generally prohibited. No one other than the Court Executive Officer and court staff may place documents in attorney boxes, unless written permission of the Court Executive Officer or chief judge is first obtained.
