Upon registration, attorneys are deemed to be Registered Users for purposes of these Local Rules.
A self-represented party who is not incarcerated may apply to the assigned judge for permission to become a Registered User by submitting a request to e-file. Upon application, a self-represented party consents to electronic service via CM/ECF. If the request is approved, that individual will become a Registered User in the specific case.
Unless otherwise limited by these rules, Registered Users must file all pleadings, documents (including attachments and exhibits), and other papers electronically through CM/ECF.
Practice Tip Instructions and requirements for applying to e-file as a self-represented party are available on the Court's website at ord.uscourts.gov.
(b) Non-Registered Users Non-Registered Users must file all documents with the Clerk's Office in paper form.
A filing party is responsible for perfecting service on a Non-Registered User in any manner permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or these local rules and for filing a Certificate of Service.
