P. 57 for the United States District Courts, as prescribed by the Supreme Court of the United States, so far as not inconsistent therewith, shall apply in all criminal cases and criminal proceedings in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Effective March 26, 2007, all documents filed with the Court must be filed through the Electronic Case Filing System, except as provided otherwise in the Court's Electronic Case Filing Policies and Procedures manual ("manual") which is promulgated and revised by the Clerk.
