LOU Orders Upload
Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2010 11:24 am
Hi Everyone:
It is amazing what can be found in the Court Manual on the Court's
Web-site. Section 4 was by far the most helpful explanation of how to
prepare the proof of service and notice of entered order. *Section
4-1*talks about the order format. But the explanation of what to do
with the
Proof of Service and the Notice of Entered Order was very helpful. I wish I
had read the Manual before I bugged all of you to explain it to me. But for
those that are still confused, read below.
(3) Proof of Service.
(A) Electronic Signatures. An electronic signature (/s/ followed by typed
name) is allowed on the Proof of Service of Document page, as long as the
person whose electronic signature is used is employed at the office/firm of
the attorney whose CM/ECF live login password will be used to lodge the
proposed order being served.
(B) Mandatory LBR Form 9013-3.1. Comply with LBR 9021-1 by including a
Proof of Service page of the proposed form of order, including for orders
related to unopposed motions or other unopposed requests for relief. The
proof of service must be on court mandated LBR form F 9013-3.1 or must
use the exact language and format of that LBR form.
(C) Organizing Contact Information on Service List. Comply with LBR 9021-
1(b) when organizing the list for the Proof of Service of Document:
(i) Proposed Order on Unopposed Motions. Pursuant to LBR 9021-
1(b)(4), there is no obligation to serve a proposed form or order on
any person, entity, or attorney who did not file an opposition to the
moving paper(s). This includes a case trustee or the United States
Trustee.
(ii) Proposed Order when Opposition to Motion was Filed. Pursuant to
LBR 9021-1(b)(3)(A), a proposed order must be served only upon
any person, entity, or attorney who filed an opposition to the
moving papers. There is no obligation to serve the proposed
order on any other person or entity, including a case trustee or
the United States Trustee.
(iii) Judges Copy. The presiding judge must always be listed on the
proof of service, except for proposed orders listed below under
section 4-2(c)(4), Exceptions. See Appendix F for instructions.
(4) Notice of Entered Order and Service List.
(A) Mandatory LBR Form F 9021-1.1. The last part of a proposed order must
be a Notice of Entered Order and Service List using mandatory LBR form
F 9021-1.1, or the exact format and language of that form.
(B) Duty to Serve, Service Methods. Pursuant to FRBP 9022, the court has the
duty to transmit a copy of an order only to the U.S. trustee, and to deliver
notice of entry of an order only to contesting parties or as the court
directs.
Allowable service methods are in FRCP Rule 5(b), and include service via
NEF. When organizing the Notice of Entered Order and Service List:
(i) Court Service. The courts policy is for the court to send a copy of
an entered order to the debtor and debtors attorney, the U.S.
Trustee, and any person or entity who filed a paper in connection
with the relief requested.
(ii) Limited Service List. Only include those persons or entities who are
entitled to service of the entered order. See LBR 9021-1(b)(1)(D),
LBR 2002-2(a), FRBP 9022 and other relevant FRBP to determine
persons or entities entitled to service of the entered order.
(iii) Proper Categories. Organize the Notice of Entered Order and
Service List using the three categories identified below:
a. Category I: To be Served by the Court via Notice of
Electronic Filing (NEF). List the names and e-mail
address of attorneys (including movants counsel) who
qualify under Court Service and are listed in CM/ECF on
the Electronic Mail Notice List to receive NEF transmission.
The U.S. Trustee and case trustee will always be in this
category.
b. Category II: To be Served by the Court via U.S. Mail. The
debtor will always be in this category. Also list the names
and mailing addresses of persons, entities, and/or
attorneys (including movants counsel) who qualify under
Electronic Mail Notice List to receive NEF transmission.
DO NOT list names that are served via NEF, nor any other
person/entity, including other lien holders, co-borrowers, or
persons/entities who merely file a request for special
notice.
c. Category III: To be Served by the Lodging Party.
Recognizing that a movant may wish for additional persons
or entities to receive a copy of an entered order, and
balancing this with limiting the courts duty to serve notice
of entry of an order, the movant may serve a copy of the
entered order on additional person or entities and list the
names and method of service in this section. Movant must
then file a proof of service certifying that service has been
rendered.
NOTE: A judges copy of this proof of service is not required.
(iv) Identifying NEF Recipients. To identify persons or entities who are
to be served electronically, log into CM/ECF (not PACER). Access
the information by selecting Utilities > Miscellaneous > Mailings...
> Mailing Info for a Case > (insert Case/Adv number) > Submit.
Electronic recipients will be listed under Electronic Mail Notice
List.
(v) Identifying BNC Recipients. To identify persons or entities who are
to be served either by U.S. Mail, or electronically by the BNC, log
into CM/ECF (not PACER). Access the information by selecting
Utilities > Miscellaneous > Mailings... > Mailing Info for a Case >
(insert Case/Adv number) > Submit. Persons or entities to be
served via BNC will be listed under Manual Notice List.
(c) Serving a Judges Copy. Except as provided in paragraph (4) below,
pursuant to LBR
9021-1(a), within 48 hours of a proposed order being lodged via LOU, the
following items
must be served as a Judges Copy according to the instructions in Appendix F
of this
Manual:
(1) One Copy. One copy of the proposed order;
(2) LOU Receipt. One copy of the LOU confirmation receipt (See section
4-3(d) of this
Manual, for a sample confirmation receipt); and
(3) Envelopes.
(A) Pursuant to LBR 9021-1(a)(1)(D), the proposed order must be
accompanied by stamped, addressed envelopes for all persons or entities
who will be served by the court non-electronically to include only the
debtor
(and debtors attorney, if any), movant (or movants attorney, if any), and
all parties (or their attorneys, if any) who filed an opposition or other
objection to the relief requested; or,
(B) If the order being lodged is of the type listed in section 4-6(a)(6) of
this
Manual, List of of Orders Served through the BNC, DO NOT send envelopes
to the court.
Hopes this helps someone else out. It taught me how to do it, but it also
taught me to stop being so afraid to look for the information and read it
for myself and know what is suppose to be done. Don't just send an email to
cdcbaa looking for easy answer. Sorry to everyone if I do that too much.
Thanks for your patience.
