Rule 9011-4 Signing of Electronically Transmitted Documents, Representation to the Court

(a) Responsibility for Use of Login and Password. An attorney or other person who is assigned a court-issued login and password to file documents electronically is responsible for all documents filed with that login and password.

(b) Signature and Certification. The transmission of a petition, pleading, motion, or other paper by electronic means shall constitute a signature by both the attorney and other person responsible for transmitting it, as required by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9011(b). Such transmission shall also constitute a representation by the attorney and the other person responsible for the electronic transmission to the court that he is in possession of the original petition, pleading, motion, or other paper, with all original signatures thereon, other than those papers signed solely by the filing user and co-counsel.

(c) Production. Upon order by the court or reasonable request by an interested party, the attorney and/or the other person responsible for an electronic filing shall produce for inspection and copying the original petition, pleading, motion, or other paper filed by electronic means, with all original signatures thereon.
