RULE 5005-3 PROOF OF SERVICE Except for a motion filed ex parte and a document served in an adversary proceeding by filing it with the court's CM/ECF system, every document filed with the court must be accompanied by a written proof of service stating that the document was served on parties in interest entitled to service. Unless these Rules or applicable law provide otherwise, an attorney may prove service by certificate, and a non-attorney must prove service either by affidavit or by a declaration under 28 U.S.C. § 1746. Every proof of service must state:

(1) for each recipient who is a registrant with the court's CM/ECF system, the date of the filing and the name of the recipient; and

(2) for each recipient who is not a registrant, the date, manner of service, and name and address of the recipient.
