FILING OF PAPERS

(a)
Method of Filing The Court will accept for filing documents submitted, signed, or verified by electronic means consistent with the rules and procedures established by the Court. Filing of documents electronically in compliance with these rules and procedures shall constitute filing with the Court for purposes of Fed.R.Bankr.P. 5005.
(b)
Requirement of Form
All petitions, pleadings, and other papers offered for filing shall meet the following requirements of form:

(1) Legibility

Papers shall be plainly and legibly typewritten, printed, or reproduced on one side

of the paper only.

(2) Caption: Official Forms

The caption and form of all petitions, pleadings, schedules, and other papers shall be in substantial compliance with Fed.R.Bankr.P., official forms, or local rules. Each paper or set of papers filed, except petitions, shall bear the name of the debtor, the case number, and chapter of the case.

(c)
Return of Copies Any person who files a pleading or paper, including a claim, by mail and wishes to receive a file-marked copy by return mail must include with the paper or pleading a self-addressed, stamped envelope and sufficient copies of the pleading or paper therefor. Copies of pleadings and other papers that the Clerk is unable to return will be recycled.
(d)
Service on UST
An attorney who certifies that a paper has been duly served on the UST either conventionally or electronically, or that an additional copy of a writing or paper has been provided to the Clerk for transmittal to the UST, shall be deemed to have verified for the purposes of Fed.R.Bankr.P. 5005(b) that the paper was transmitted.
