NOTICE AND SERVICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION

(a) Service on Registered CM/ECF Users. (1) NEF Constitutes Service. Upon the addition of any document or item to a CM/ECF docket, whether electronically or non-electronically, an NEF is automatically generated by CM/ECF and sent electronically to all persons or entities that are CM/ECF Users and have consented to electronic service. Regardless of whether it is the duty of the court or of another person or entity to provide notice or service, service of the NEF constitutes notice and service pursuant to the F.R.Civ.P., FRBP, and these rules for all persons and entities that have consented to electronic service.

(2) NEF Does Not Constitute Service. Electronic transmission of an NEF does not constitute service or notice of the following documents that must be served non- electronically: (A) Service of a summons and involuntary petition under FRBP 1010; (B) Service upon the United States trustee of documents listed as exceptions under LBR 2002-2(a)(3); (C) Service of a proof of claim upon debtor’s attorney under LBR 3015-1(b)(5); (D) Service of a summons and complaint under FRBP 7004; (E) Service of a subpoena under FRBP 9016; and (F) Where conventional service is otherwise required under the F.R.Civ.P., FRBP, LBRs, or by court order. (b) Service on non-CM/ECF Users. A person or entity that is entitled to service of a document, but is not a CM/ECF User or is a CM/ECF User who has not consented to electronic service, must be served as otherwise provided by the F.R.Civ.P., FRBP, and these rules.
