Local Rule RULE 5005–4: Electronic Filing

RULE 5005–4 Electronic Filing

(a) The Court shall accept for filing documents submitted, signed, or verified by electronic means that comply with the Electronic Case Filing Procedures established by the Court (attached as Appendix D) (the "ECF Procedures"), as published on the Court's website. Unless the Court orders otherwise, an attorney filing a document on behalf of a client shall file the document electronically in compliance with the ECF Procedures. The ECF Procedures govern if there is a conflict between the ECF Procedures and these Local Bankruptcy Rules as to the technicalities of electronic case filing.

(b) Technical Failure. A registered NextGen CM/ECF User whose filing is made untimely due to a NextGen CM/ECF system technical failure, may seek appropriate relief from the Court as provided for in the ECF Procedures.

(c) Docketing by the Court. Each order, decree, judgment, notice, and other document filed electronically by the Clerk on the Court's electronic docket that bears a representation of signing by the judge, or by the Clerk, has the same force and effect as if the judge or the Clerk had signed a paper version of the document with an original signature. The Court may issue orders as "text-only" entries on the docket, without an attached document. An order or notice entered on the docket without an attached document is official and binding.
