LOCAL RULE 7005-1 Mandatory Certificate of Service Form for Use by Attorneys, Trustees, or Other Registered Electronic Filing System Users The service of pleadings and other documents in adversary proceedings, contested matters in the bankruptcy case, and all other proceedings in the Eastern District of California Bankruptcy Court by either attorneys, trustees, or other Registered Electronic Filing System Users shall be documented using the Official Certificate of Service Form (Form EDC 007-005) adopted by this Court. In addition to other requirements stated on the Official Certificate of Service Form:
(a) Unless service is on six or fewer parties in interest and a custom service list is used or the persons served are not on the Clerk of the Court's Matrix, the Certificate of Service Form shall have attached to it the Clerk of the Court's Official Matrix, as appropriate: (1) for the case or the adversary proceeding; and (2) the list of Equity Security Holders.
(b) For persons served electronically pursuant to their consent to such service (not ECF Registered User service by the Clerk of the Court), a copy of the written consent to such electronic service must be attached to the Certificate of Service.
(c) When a Clerk's Office Matrix is attached to the Certificate of Service, for the persons not served by that method of service, the filer shall strike out the names of such persons not served by that method of service.
(d) Where the Clerk's Matrix of Creditors is attached to the Certificate of Service form, such list shall be downloaded not more than 7 days prior to the date of serving the pleadings and other documents and shall reflect the date of downloading. The serving party may download that matrix either in "pdf label format" or in "raw data format." Where the matrix attached is in "raw data format," signature on the Certificate of Service is the signor's representation that no changes, e.g., additions, deletions, modifications, of the data have been made except: (1) formatting of existing data; or (2) removing creditors from that list by the method described in paragraph (c) of this rule.
