REMINDER
OF REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN EMAIL ADDRESSES IN CM/ECF
The
Court’s CM/ECF system sends emails regarding case activity
to primary and any additional email addresses that registered
attorney users have entered in their CM/ECF user accounts. Often
the Court receives returned or “bounced-back” emails
primarily as a result of email addresses being entered incorrectly
or email accounts being full or closed.
Please
be advised that the Court’s Local Rule 1001-2(h) states
“Registration as an Electronic User constitutes: (1) waiver
of the right to receive notice by first-class mail and consent
to receive notice electronically; and (2) waiver of the right
to service by personal service or first-class mail and consent
to electronic service, except with regard to summons and complaint
under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7004…”
Further,
the Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida implemented
the Reduced Paper Module (RPM) which means that in most cases
where an electronic filer is a party, only electronic notice will
be sent. The court no longer sends redundant paper notices and
orders with a few exceptions.
It
is your responsibility to properly maintain your CM/ECF user account
with up-to-date email addresses in order to receive all electronic
notices timely. Additionally it is your responsibility to monitor
case activity.
To
update email addresses, log into CM/ECF, select Utilities and
Maintain Your ECF Account and then select “email”.
You may update and add email addresses but may not delete your
primary email address. For additional information on how
to update your email address click here. Changes to your name,
firm, or address information cannot be made through Maintain Your
ECF Account under Utilities. You must contact the Court’s
Help Desk for instruction and assistance to make these changes.
