L.A.R. Misc. 113.5: Entry of Court-Issued Documents
Local Appellate Rules and Internal Operating Procedures of the Third Circuit — L.A.R. Misc. 113 Electronic Filing
(a) Except as otherwise provided by local rule or court order, all orders, decrees, judgments, and proceedings of the court relating to cases filed and maintained in the CM/ECF system will be filed in accordance with these rules, which will constitute entry on the docket kept by the clerk under FRAP 36 and 45(b). Court orders, decrees, judgments, and other documents filed by the court will contain an electronic signature. Any order or other court issued document filed electronically without a hand-written signature of a judge or authorized court personnel has the same force and effect as if the judge or clerk had signed a paper copy of the order.
(b) Orders also may be entered as “text-only” entries on the docket, without an attached document. Such orders are official and binding.
Notes
Rules on electronic filing were added in 2008.
