RULE 5003-1. CLERK – DUTY TO MAINTAIN RECORDS.

(a) General Duty to Maintain All Records. The Clerk will maintain all official records of the Court. If a party presents a document for filing either in paper format or via e-mail, the Clerk will scan it into the electronic records, maintain it in electronic form, and dispose of the paper or e-mail version.

(b) Official Form 121, Statement About Your Social Security Numbers. The Clerk retains every Official Form 121 that parties submit for a minimum of five years. The Official Form 121 is not to be filed, and therefore will not become part of any bankruptcy case record. See also Local Rule 9011-2(b).
