IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are a case participant (attorney, party, witness, or other person who will actively participate in the hearing), it is strongly recommended that you join Zoom using the Zoom application rather than by a telephone connection. If you must appear by telephone, the numbers posted for each judge are for the public and are listen-only, so you will need to contact the Courtroom Deputy (CRD) at least one business day before the hearing to request a Zoom invitation (which will be sent via email) in order to join the hearing as a case participant.

The processing of unnecessary chambers copies wastes resources and burdens the court. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 5-1(d)(7), chambers copies should not be submitted unless required by the assigned judge’s standing order or specifically requested by the assigned judge.
Judges’ standing orders may include additional requirements and may differ from the local rules in other particulars. If they are not in agreement, a judge’s standing order supersedes the local rules.
The pertinent parts of Magistrate Judge Tse's standing orders are set forth below:
To reduce waste, paper courtesy copies should not be submitted unless the Court requests them.

Magistrate Judge Alex G. Tse brings broad knowledge of federal law and practice, both civil and criminal, to the San Francisco Division. Prior to joining the bench, he served for nearly twenty years in various positions with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California, including an interim appointment as the U.S. Attorney, and service as First Assistant U.S. Attorney.
Judge Tse began his legal career in 1990 in private practice. In 1994, he became a line Assistant United States Attorney in the Civil Division, where he defended the federal government in civil cases, and pursued civil actions against defendants who defrauded the government. In 2001, Judge Tse became a Deputy Chief of the Civil Division. While he continued to litigate defensive cases, the majority of his work was in the area of affirmative civil enforcement. This included investigations and litigation primarily under the False Claims Act. His primary areas of litigation included health care and financial institution fraud.
In late 2006, Judge Tse left the United States Attorney’s Office and in 2007 took a position as an Assistant Chief City Attorney for the City and County of San Francisco, where he led the team of Deputy City Attorneys charged with investigating and abating public nuisance.
In late 2012, Judge Tse returned to the U.S. Attorney’s Office as the Chief of the Civil Division. In 2016, he received a Special Commendation from the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and he received a Director’s Award for Superior Performance from the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys in 2017. Prior to joining the bench, he served on various court committees in the Northern District of California including the court’s Civil Local Rules Attorney Advisory Committee and the Criminal Rules and Practice Committee, and served for several years as a volunteer court-appointed mediator and early neutral evaluator.
Judge Tse is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.
