Guidelines which govern the filing of documents with this Court, including the CM/ECF system, have been revised and are in the final stages of review. These guidelines proposed a number of changes which should be of assistance to the bar. Included in such changes are the elimination of the requirement to file the original Declaration of Electronic Filing and Certification of Consent, establishment of a procedure for filings in the event CM/ECF is not available, and procedures for waiver of duplicate service by mail and by electronic means and other matters.

Thanks to those attorneys including the Chapter 13 and 7 Trustees and United States Trustees who have provided comments and suggestions in these efforts.
