Electronic transmission of a document to the ECF system consistent with these rules,
together with the transmission of a “Notice of Electronic Filing” from the Court,
constitutes filing of the document for all purposes of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and the Local Rules of this Court, and constitutes
entry of the document on the docket kept by the clerk under Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure 58 and 79 and Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure 49 and 55.
When a document has been filed electronically, the official record is the electronic
recording of the document as stored by the Court, and the filing party is bound by the
document as filed. Except in the case of documents first filed in paper form and
subsequently submitted electronically under Rule 1, a document filed electronically is
deemed filed at the date and time stated on the “Notice of Electronic Filing” from the
Court.
Filing a document electronically does not alter the filing deadline for that document. Filing
must be completed before midnight local time where the Court is located to be considered
timely filed that day unless a specific time is set by the Court.
The filer is responsible for calculating the response time under the federal and/or local
rules. Any date generated by CM/ECF is a guideline only, and, if the Court has ordered
the response to be filed on a date certain, the Court's order governs the response deadline.
