We review for abuse of discretion the district court's interpretation and application of a local rule. Miranda v. Southern Pac. Transp. Co., 710 F.2d 516, 521 (9th Cir.1983).
District courts have broad discretion in interpreting and applying their local rules. Id. "Only in rare cases will we question the exercise of discretion in connection with the application of local rules." United States v. Warren, 601 F.2d 471, 473-74 (9th Cir.1979).
