*(a) Effectiveness of Electronically Filed Document*. The electronic filing
of a document, together with the transmission by the court of a Notice of
Electronic Filing to the user filing the document, constitutes the filing
of the document for all purposes of the FRBP and the courts Local
Bankruptcy Rules and constitutes entry of the document on the docket by the
Clerk under FRBP 5003. The official record of all documents is the
electronic recording of the document as stored by the court.
**
*(b) Time of Filing. *Filing of a document electronically does not alter
the filing deadline for that document. *Filing must be completed before
midnight, Pacific Standard or Daylight Saving Time*, whichever is then in
effect, to be considered timely filed that day. The date and time of filing
is stated on the Notice of Electronic Filing from the court. This time
stamp is based on the time of the electronic receipt of the document by the
court, and not by the time of transmission by the CM/ECF User.
