Local Rule 5005-8: NOTICE AND SERVICE
Bankr. W.D. Pa. — General rule
Rule 5005-8 NOTICE AND SERVICE
(a) The CM/ECF System automatically generates a Notice of Electronic Filing ("NEF") when a document is filed. The NEF contains a hyperlink to the document filed and identifies by e-mail address each Filing User to whom the CM/ECF System automatically transmits the NEF. The generation of an NEF by the CM/ECF System creates a presumption of effective notice and service as to each Filing User identified in the NEF.
(b) By registering as a Filing User with the Court, a Filing User consents to electronic notice in the form of a CM/ECF System-generated NEF, and waives his or her right to receive notice by first-class mail, including, but not limited to, the entry of an order or judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9022.
(c) By registering as a Filing User with the Court, a Filing User consents to electronic service in the form of a CM/ECF System-generated NEF which contains a hyperlink to a PDF of the document(s) being served, and waives his or her right to service by personal service or first-class mail, except with regard to service of an objection to claim pursuant to Fed.R.Bankr.P. 3007, a summons and complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7004, a motion initiating a contested matter under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9014, and/or a subpoena under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9016, or any other document which the Bankruptcy Code or the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure explicitly require to be served by personal service or first-class mail.
(d) As to persons who are not Filing Users, notice and service shall be effectuated by nonelectronic means in accordance with all applicable Local Bankruptcy Rules and Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.
(e) A certificate of service shall identify the specific method of service upon each person served.
