Rule 9036-1 Notice by Electronic Transmission
(a) Service by Electronic Means.
(1) Notice shall be given by electronic transmission to any entity entitled to receive the bankruptcy notice if: (A) a written request is made by the entity for electronic notice; (B) the entity executes an electronic notice agreement with the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (www.ebnuscourts.com) and otherwise meets the system requirements for electronic noticing; and (C) the clerk's office is capable of transmitting the notices electronically.
(2) Filing users of CM/ECF consent to notice and service by electronic transmission upon registration as filing users. A Notice of Electronic Filing ("NEF") is automatically generated by CM/ECF and sent electronically to filing users. Service of the NEF constitutes notice and service pursuant to the Fed. R. Civ. P., Fed. R. Bankr. P., and these rules for all persons and entities that have consented to electronic service.
(3) A person or entity that is entitled to service of a document but is not a filing user of CM/ECF must be served as otherwise provided by the Fed. R. Civ. P., Fed. R. Bankr. P., and these rules.
(b) Exceptions. Electronic transmission of a NEF generated by CM/ECF does not constitute service or notice of the following documents that must be served non-electronically:
(1) A summons and complaint under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7004;
(2) A subpoena under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9016;
(3) A summons and petition under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1010; and
(4) Any other document where conventional service is otherwise required under the Fed. R. Civ. P., Fed. R. Bankr. P., LBRs, or by court order.
