LBR 5005-4: Electronic Service of Documents on Parties

(a) Electronic Service. When service of a document is required by the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, these Rules, or the Court, service may be made through CM/ECF. Serving a document through CM/ECF does not excuse the Filer from timely filing proof of service that identifies the entity served and indicates the date and method of service.

(b) Service Completed. If the intended recipient is an ECF Filer, service is deemed complete when the Notice of Electronic Filing is transmitted to the Filer.

(c) Proof of Service. When a proof of service is required by the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, these Rules, or Court order, the proof of service must indicate the method of service (U.S. Mail, private courier, facsimile, electronically, etc.).
