Every motion and other paper (except exhibits, lists, statements or amendments thereto) shall be signed by at least one attorney of record or, if the party is not represented by an attorney, all papers shall be signed by the party. An attorney's ECF login and password issued by the court, serves in part as the attorney's signature, per Local Rule 5-7. Therefore, an attorney must protect and secure the password issued by the court. If there is any reason to suspect the password has been compromised in any way, it is the duty and responsibility of the attorney to immediately notify the court. The Court will immediately delete that password from the electronic filing system and issue a new password. An attorney's registration will not waive conventional service of paper filings; submit the client to the jurisdiction of the Court; or operate as a consent to accept service of documents and orders in actions in which such attorney has not entered an appearance. An attorney's registration will constitute a waiver in law only of conventional service of electronically filed documents and orders. The attorney agrees to accept, on behalf of the client, service of notice of the electronic filing by hand, facsimile or authorized e-mail. Attorneys must be active members of the bar of this Court to file documents electronically.
