Chapter:
Part V. Courts and Clerks
A. The Electronic Filing System. All documents submitted for filing in bankruptcy cases or adversary proceedings must be filed electronically using the CM/ECF System unless otherwise ordered by the court. Pro se parties do not have to file electronically. Claimants filing more than 50 separate proofs of claim in paper format in any 12-month period must file electronically.
B. Emergency Filings. In case of an emergency, or if the CM/ECF System is having a technical failure, a filing party may contact the clerk to request permission to transmit documents for filing via facsimile or e-mail. If permission is granted, the filing party must strictly follow the instructions provided.
