Local Rule LR6-202. Service of notices and mailing of other papers.

A. Scope. This rule applies to the service or delivery of “court originated” notices and other papers. Notices and other papers are considered “court originated” if the court initiated the notice or paper. Any notice or paper submitted by a party for the court’s consideration or to be completed by court staff is not considered court originated for purposes of this rule but instead is considered to be a party originated paper. The party submitting a party originated paper that is subsequently filed by the court is responsible for serving the paper on the other parties to the proceeding in accordance with the applicable statewide rules of procedure unless delivery by the court is permitted under Paragraph B of this rule. B. Designation of attorney boxes at courthouse. All attorneys maintaining an office in Silver City, New Mexico, and who consent in writing, will have an appropriate box or other place designated in the district judge’s office in Silver City where copies of notices and other papers will be placed. All attorneys maintaining an office in Deming, New Mexico, and who consent in writing, will have an appropriate box or other place designated in the district judge’s office in Deming where copies of notices and other papers will be placed. All attorneys maintaining offices in Lordsburg, New Mexico, and who consent in writing, will have an appropriate box or other place designated in the district court clerk’s office in Lordsburg where copies of notices and other papers will be placed. (See Appendix, LR6-Form 702 for consent form.) C. Use of attorney boxes for service. For those attorneys who do not consent to placement of copies in the areas designated in Paragraph B of this rule, the district court clerk’s office will not mail notices or other papers to counsel, except court originated notices and other papers, unless the attorney provides a stamped, self- addressed envelope along with the proposed notice or other paper. Court originated notices and other papers will be mailed at the court’s expense to counsel who either do not maintain an office in the municipality where the district court clerk’s office is located or do not consent to the use of the box in the courthouse. An attorney may request that a conformed copy of a paper be mailed to the attorney. The request shall be accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope. D. Three-day mailing period. When notices and papers are placed in a desginated area at the courthouse as provided by this rule, the three (3) days mailing period provided in Rule 1-006(D) NMRA shall be added to any prescribed period. If a notice, order, writ, pleading, or other paper is transmitted by facsimile to counsel under Rule 1- 005.1 NMRA, the additional three (3) days provided in Rule 1-006(D) NMRA shall not be added to any prescribed period.
