Local Rule 5005-5: SERVICE OF DOCUMENTS BY ELECTRONIC MEANS
Bankr. N.D. W.Va. — General rule
5005-5 SERVICE OF DOCUMENTS BY ELECTRONIC MEANS
(a) Filing and Service
(1) A party may use the Court's transmission facilities to make service under Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(2)(E).
(2) By registering, or by having registered, with the Clerk as an electronic filer in the Clerk's CM/ECF system, the electronic filing user is deemed to have consented to receipt of notice and service by the Clerk, and by other parties in the case, via the Clerk's Notice of Electronic Filing ("NEF"). Service or notice by the Clerk is effective on transmission. Service or notice by a party in the case is complete upon filing or sending but is not effective if the filer or sender receives notice that it did not reach the person to be served. The Court and Clerk are not responsible for notifying a person who filed a paper with the Clerk's electronic-filing system that an attempted transmission by the Court's system failed. This Local Rule does not apply to any pleading or other paper required to be served in accordance with Rule 7004.
(3) No certificate of service is required when a paper is served by filing it with the court's electronic filing system.
(b) Timely Filing Unless otherwise ordered by the Court:
(1) A document filed electronically through the Court's CM/ECF System is timely if filed before midnight on the day it is due;
(2) A document that the Court or Clerk receives by facsimile or email is not filed unless the filing party obtains the prior consent of the Court or Clerk. The facsimile or email must be followed by the delivery of the original document. The receipt of the original document by the Clerk's Office shall relate back to the time that the facsimile or email was delivered to the Clerk's Office.
