Bankr. W.D. Mich. — General rule
LBR 5005-3: CM/ECF Transmittal of Documents by Clerk to United States Trustee
(a) Mandatory Transmittal. Copies of the following documents must be transmitted electronically by CM/ECF to the United States Trustee contemporaneously with their filing with the Clerk:
(1) all documents (including notice of appeals) filed in a Chapter 7 or 11 case;
(2) a notice of appeal filed in an adversary proceeding related to a Chapter 7 or 11 case;
(3) any complaint to except a debt from discharge pursuant to § 523 or to deny or revoke a discharge pursuant to § 727; and
(4) all settlement papers filed in an adversary proceeding or a contested matter in a case under Chapter 7 or 11.
(b) Transmittal is not Service. The Clerk's transmittal of such documents electronically by CM/ECF does not constitute "service" of the document on the United States Trustee by the filing party. Nothing in this Rule changes the applicable obligations of parties to serve the United States Trustee under the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure or elsewhere under these Rules.
(c) Additional Documents. The United States Trustee also may file a notice of appearance, or a motion requesting transmittal of additional documents, in a particular case.
