LOCAL RULE 9013-3: CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE a. Service in General. Unless otherwise ordered or provided for in these rules, every plan, motion, pleading, objection, reply, or other document requesting relief and all amendments or attachments thereto shall be served by the filing party on all appropriate parties and their attorney of record in the proceeding pending before this Court and shall be accompanied by a certificate of service that indicates the names and addresses of the parties served with the document(s), the manner of service, and the date of service.

b. Delegated Matters. A certificate of service that indicates the names and addresses of the parties served with the document(s), the manner of service, and the date of service, shall be filed by the party delegated service of an order or notice pursuant to SC LBR 5075-1, SC LBR 9013-4 or any other authority. Service shall be made promptly and a certificate of service of the delegated document should be filed within seven (7) days.

P. 9036, the certificate of service filed by the delegated party, as indicated in (a) or (b), may refer to or attach the Notice of Electronic Filing without repeating its contents.
