Local Rule 5005-2: Electronic Case Filing
Bankr. D. Wyo. — General rule
Rule 5005-2 Electronic Case Filing The filing of documents in electronic format through use of the Electronic Case Filing System (ECF) will be in accordance with this rule and the Electronic Filing Procedures established by the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court.
(A) Signature. The use of an attorney's password to file a document electronically by ECF constitutes the signature of that attorney for purposes of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9011 and for any other purpose for which a signature is required in connection with proceedings in this court. The filed document must indicate that the original document bears an appropriate signature.
(B) Unauthorized Use. Any pleading filed under a registered participant's login and password, or by participant's filing agent is deemed a pleading filed by that counsel.
(C) Docket. The docket contained under ECF constitutes the Clerk of Bankruptcy Court's official record required to be maintained under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 5003. The electronic filing of a pleading or other paper in accordance with the clerk's established procedures constitutes the filing of the document and entry of that pleading or other paper on the docket kept under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 5003, and the filing party is bound by the document as filed. Each order, decree, judgment or proceeding entered on the docket kept by the clerk of court in accordance with ECF procedures constitutes entry on the docket for purposes of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9021.
(D) Consent to Electronic Notice. Participation in ECF by receipt of a password constitutes a request for and consent to service and electronic notice under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9036.
(E) Notice. When a pleading or other paper is filed electronically in accordance with ECF procedures, the clerk of court will electronically transmit a Notice of Electronic Filing to the filing party and to all electronic filers registered in that case. The filer must serve any other person entitled to service with a paper copy in the conventional manner.
If the recipient of service is a registered participant in ECF, service by electronic means of the Notice of Electronic Filing (with a hyperlink to the filed document and without the pleading attached) is the equivalent of service of the pleading or other paper by First Class mail, postage prepaid, and constitutes service of the filed document. The United States trustee and the appropriate case trustee will be served automatically with every pleading filed.
