Rule 5005-1. [ABROGATED]

[Effective April 15, 1997. Amended effective January 1, 2002; January 9, 2006; October 1, 2019. Abrogated effective September 4, 2024.]

2024 Advisory Committee Notes Local Rule 5005-1 was abrogated as follows. Subsection (a) was removed as duplicative of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 5005(a)(2)(A) which generally requires an entity represented by an attorney to file electronically. For instructions on how to file electronically, including how to register as a Filing User, refer to the court's website at www.mnb.uscourts.gov. See also Local Rule 9001-1(c) (defining "Filing User"). Subsection (b) was removed as unnecessary. Again, the clerk maintains instructions on the court's website for how to register as a Filing User. Subsection (c) was removed as duplicative of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 5005(a)(2)(B) which generally prohibits an individual not represented by an attorney from filing electronically. Subsection (d) was removed as unnecessary. ECF is now the accepted and required method for filing documents in accordance with the rules. See also Fed. R. Bankr. P. 5005(a)(2)(D) ("A paper filed electronically is a written paper for purposes of these rules, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure made applicable by these rules, and § 107 of the Code."). Use of the "Inbox" is generally not permitted. To use the "Inbox," a party must obtain permission from the judge's courtroom deputy. The provision regarding filing before midnight was removed as duplicative of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9006(a)(4)(A). Lastly, subsection (e) was removed because there is necessary processing time between the clerk's office receiving a document (by mail or in person) and filing a document.
