Rule 17 Service of Court-Generated Documents

Article III: General Provisions

Electronic Notice and Service on a Registered Filer. A registered filer shall designate and maintain at least one email address for service of documents from the court to that registered filer. The email address may be a general work email address or an individual email address. The court shall use this email address for service of all notices or orders it generates and serves. The registered filer is responsible for ensuring that the court has the correct email address.

Service on a Nonregistered Filer. A nonregistered filer shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, maintain at least one email address for service of court-generated documents from the court to that nonregistered filer. The court shall use this email address for service of all notices or orders generated and served by the court and shall include a copy of the notice that the document was e-filed by the court. Every nonregistered filer who does not maintain an email address shall designate a mailing address for mail delivery of court-generated documents and the Clerk shall mail copies of e-filed court-generated documents to that mailing address. Every nonregistered filer shall promptly update their account information to reflect any change in email address, mailing address, or telephone number. The filer must provide appropriate notice of changes in contact information to any nonregistered filer in every active case. Certificate of Service. The Clerk shall file a certificate of service for any court-generated document conventionally served.
