UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
Pro Se (Non Prisoner)
Registration to Receive Documents Electronically
Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b), Fed. R. Civ. P. 77(d), Joint Local Rules of Civil Practice
5.5 and the Court’s Electronic Case Filing Administrative Policies and Procedures, unsealed
documents may be served through the court’s transmission facilities by electronic means.
Documents that are not permitted to be served electronically are pleadings that are to be served
with process under Fed.R.Civ.P. 4.
I (print name) hereby request and consent to
receive service of documents and notice of electronic filings via the Court’s electronic filing
system to the extent and in the manner authorized by the above rules and waive the right to
receive notice by first class mail pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 5(b)(2)(C) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 77(d) in
the following case(s) to which I am a party (if this form is being submitted with a newly filed
case, write “New Case”):
.
I will provide written notice of any change in my personal data, such as name, address,
and/or e-mail address in each case to which I am a party. I understand that if I wish to
discontinue receiving documents electronically, I will promptly notify the office of the Clerk of
the Court in writing to request cancellation of electronic service.
I understand that litigants who have consented to receive documents electronically will be
sent a Notice of Electronic Filing via e-mail. Upon receipt of the notice, they are permitted one
“free look” at the document by single clicking on the hyperlinked document number. Double-
clicking the document number will result in the loss of the one “free look.” The one “free look”
will expire 15 days from the date the notice was sent. After the “free look” is used or expires, the
document can only be accessed through PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records.)
It is mandatory that litigants establish a PACER account. This can be accomplished by
visiting the PACER web site at http://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov. PACER is an automated system
that allows an individual to view, print, and download documents for a fee.
