(a) All papers required or permitted to be served must, at the time they are presented
for filing, be accompanied by written proof of service. The proof must show the
day and manner of service and may be by written acknowledgment of service or
written certificate by the person who served the papers. The court will not take
action on any papers until proof of service is filed. For requirements for proof of
service of electronically filed documents, see LR IC 4-1.
(b) Failure to provide the proof of service required by this Rule does not affect the
validity of the service. Unless material prejudice would result, the court may at
any time allow the proof of service to be amended or supplied.
