(a) Social Security Cases.
(1) Electronic Filing.
Absent a showing of good cause, all documents in social security
cases filed in this court must be filed and noticed electronically
according to local rule, except as noted below.
(2) Transcript or Administrative Records.
Social security transcripts or administrative records may be
nonelectronically filed and served. If a transcript or administrative
record is filed nonelectronically, the clerk dockets a text-only event
stating that the transcript or administrative record is available to
parties and counsel of record in paper format from the clerk.
(b) Claim of Unconstitutionality.
A party who pleads the unconstitutionality of an act of Congress or a state

state agency, officer or employee is not a party must notify the court of the
question either by (1) checking the appropriate box on the civil cover sheet
or (2) stating in the caption of the pleading that alleges unconstitutionality:
"Claim of Unconstitutionality." A party raising a claim of unconstitutionality
after the complaint must file a document entitled "Notice of Claim of
Unconstitutionality."

If a party believes a 3-judge district court is required to hear an action or
proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 2284 or any other federal law, the party must
include the words "3-Judge District Court Requested" or the equivalent
immediately after the title of the first pleading in which the cause of action
requiring a 3-judge court is pleaded. Unless the basis for the request is
apparent from the pleading, it must be stated in the pleading or in a brief
