New
Standing Order effective March7 governing Objections
to Confirmation
Beginning
Monday, March 10, 2008, our Court will implement the Reduced Paper Module (RPM)
within CM/ECF. This feature will eliminate the mailing of paper
notices through the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) to registered CM/ECF e-mail
recipients. This eliminates the need for registered users to sort through
duplicate paper and electronic notices. Under RPM, debtors, creditors, and other
parties not registered as CM/ECF users continue to receive paper notices through
the BNC.
Since e-mail will be the only method of service to registered users, it is extremely important that all registered users update their e-mail address immediately in the event of a change.
As previously mentioned in our Summer 2007 Newsletter, it is up to the attorney to ensure that they receive e-mail notices in a timely manner. An attorney can run the “Activity in My Cases” Report to verify what e-mails they should have received. The Clerk’s office cannot re-send any lost e-mails. However, the Clerk’s office will make every effort to ensure that e-mail delivery failures due to isolated circumstances beyond the recipient’s control are delivered when the problem is identified.
Quarterly
fees increased effective 1-1-08 for disbursements paid by chapter 11 debtors.

+CM is NOT Vista-ready
Microsoft has released a new version of its windows software called Vista. Since it is such a major change to previous Windows versions there may be compatibility issues that need to be resolved. Compatibility with CM/ECF has NOT been thoroughly tested and therefore we cannot support your use of it at this time. Also note that much of the software on your current computers may not run either. One notable item is your petition preparation software. Thorough testing on non-production machines is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
+Announcing Changes to On-Line Payment System
ATTENTION all users of the on-line payment system (Pay.Gov). If you use a credit card to pay filing fees to the Court through CM/ECF, please read the following important information. Effective Thursday, February 1, 2007, Pay.Gov will be updating their software. In addition to requiring users to insert their credit card account number, type of card and expiration date, the new software will prompt payers to provide their "security code". [The security code is usually a 3-digit numerical code located on the reverse side of your credit card, following your account number.] The population of the security code field is mandatory as of February 1, 2007. Please notify the appropriate personnel on your staff of this change.
+Browser Issues
Please note that CM Version 3.1 is designed to work with Netscape 7.2 and Internet Explorer 6, and may not function correctly with other versions of these browsers. (Pay.gov, the agency that processes credit card payments for the Judiciary, requires the use of Internet Explorer.) For those users who prefer to use Netscape to file documents in CM/ECF, you will need to choose the “Continue Filing / Pay Later” option for any accrued fees. Within 24 hours of accumulating the fee, the filer, or their designee, will need to login to CM/ECF using Internet Explorer (IE) to pay the required fee by selecting the Utilities Menu and choosing the Internet Payments Due option.
