notarized  statement  or  declaration  in  compliance  with  28 
U. S. C. § 1746 setting out the date of deposit and stating that 
ﬁrst-class  postage  has  been  prepaid.  If  the  postmark  is 
missing  or  not  legible,  or  if  the  third-party  commercial  car­
rier does not provide the date the document was received by 
the  carrier,  the  Clerk  will  require  the  person  who  sent  the 
document  to  submit  a  notarized  statement  or  declaration  in 
compliance  with  28  U. S. C.  § 1746  setting  out  the  details  of 
the ﬁling and stating that the ﬁling took place on a particular 
date within the permitted time. 

3.  Any  document  required  by  these  Rules  to  be  served 
may  be  served  personally,  by  mail,  or  by  third-party  com­
mercial  carrier  for  delivery  within  3  calendar  days  on  each 
party  to  the  proceeding  at  or  before  the  time  of  ﬁling.  If 
the  document  has  been  prepared  as  required  by  Rule  33.1, 
three  copies  shall  be  served  on  each  other  party  separately 
represented  in  the  proceeding.  If  the  document  has  been 
prepared  as  required  by  Rule  33.2,  service  of  a  single  copy 
on each other separately represented party sufﬁces.  If per­
sonal service is made, it shall consist of delivery at the ofﬁce 
of the counsel of record, either to counsel or to an employee 
therein.  If service is by mail or third-party commercial car­
rier,  it  shall  consist  of  depositing  the  document  with  the 
United  States  Postal  Service,  with  no  less  than  ﬁrst-class 
postage  prepaid,  or  delivery  to  the  carrier  for  delivery 
within 3 calendar days, addressed to counsel of record at the 
proper  address.  When  a  party  is  not  represented  by  coun­
sel,  service  shall  be  made  on  the  party,  personally,  by  mail, 
or  by  commercial  carrier.  Ordinarily,  service  on  a  party 
must  be  by  a  manner  at  least  as  expeditious  as  the  manner 
used to ﬁle the document with the Court.
