Electronic filing is permitted at all times, except when the electronic filing system is
temporarily unavailable due to routine or necessary emergency maintenance. An electronic
filing completed at any time before midnight Central time shall be entered on the docket as of
that date. The Court’s electronic case filing system determines the date and time when a filing
is completed. A filing is timely only if accomplished in compliance with deadlines set by an
applicable order, rule or statute.
