A. Electronic Filing System.

All documents filed by an attorney must be filed electronically using the Case Management / Electronic Case Files (“CM/ECF”) System.

B. Service.

A filing party must serve a paper copy of the filed document on every party in interest who is entitled to service or notice, but who is not a CM/ECF 11 participant. When a document is electronically filed, the CM/ECF System will generate and serve a notice of electronic filing. If the recipient is a CM/ECF participant, the notice is the equivalent of service by first class mail, postage prepaid.

C. Certificate of Service.

When a party files a document or must serve a court order, the filing party must file a certificate of service stating how service on non- CM/ECF participants was accomplished. Sample language is in Appendix E. The certificate of service must be filed contemporaneously with the document served or within a reasonable time after service.

D. Current Court Matrix.

When a party files a document which must be served on the entire court matrix, the filing party must attach to the certificate of service a copy of the complete current court matrix used for service generated by the CM/ECF System, dated as of the date of service. When a party files a document which may be served on a limited matrix under Local Rule 2002-1(D) or Local Rule 9013-1(D), the filing party must attach to the certificate of service a copy of the current and complete matrix of creditors who filed a proof of claim used for service (Special Mailing Group Event: “Creditors who have filed claims”) dated as of the date of service and must list any other party in interest served as part of the certificate of service.

E. Emergency Filings.

In case of an emergency, or if the CM/ECF System experiences a technical failure, a party may contact the clerk to request permission to transmit documents for filing via facsimile or e-mail. If permission is granted, the filing party must strictly follow the instructions provided or the filing may be stricken.
