Local Rule RULE 9011-3: SIGNATURES

RULE 9011-3. SIGNATURES A.Every pleading or other document electronically filed shall contain a signature. In the signature block on all Court papers signed electronically or conventionally, the attorney must be identified by name, state bar number, complete mailing address, telephone number and the name of the party who the attorney represents. The filing attorney shall indicate a signature on each signature line by inserting the attorney's typed name or scanned signature on each applicable line. Bankruptcy Rule 9011 applies to all documents filed.

B.The electronic filing of a petition, pleading, motion, or other paper by an attorney constitutes the signature of that attorney. The attorney signing the document that is filed must match the identity of the attorney whose CM/ECF System password was used to file the document. One attorney cannot file a document using another attorney's CM/ECF password.

C.Dates of signatures on the electronically filed document must be the same as the date the document was actually signed.

D.The following procedure applies when a stipulation or other document requires two or more signatures:

1.The filing attorney shall initially confirm that the content of the document to be filed is acceptable to all persons required to sign the document and shall obtain the physical signatures of all parties on the document. For purposes of this rule, physical, facsimile and electronic signatures are permitted. A document may be signed in counterparts.

2.The filing attorney shall then file the document electronically, indicating the signatures, e.g., "s/Jane Doe," of all appropriate persons.
