SERVICE BY ELECTRONIC MEANS AUTHORIZED
U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois
Text
(A) Consent. Registration in the Court’s Electronic Case Filing System constitutes a consent to electronic service and notice of all filed documents pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 49(b). When a pleading or other paper is filed electronically, the “Notice of Electronic Filing” generated by the Court’s Electronic Case Filing System constitutes service of that document on any person who is a registered participant in that System. (B) Non-Registered Parties.
A party who is not a registered participant of the System is entitled to a paper copy of any electronically filed pleading, document, or order. The filing party must therefore provide the non-registered party with the pleading, document, or order according to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. When mailing paper copies of documents that have been electronically filed, the filing party may include the “Notice of Electronic Filing” to provide the recipient with proof of the filing. (C) Certificate of Service.
A certificate of service on all parties entitled to service or notice is required, even when a party files a document electronically. The certificate must state the manner in which service or notice was accomplished on each party entitled to service or notice. Revised 12/2016
