si gnature. Therefore, an attorney/participaiit must protect and secure the password issued
by the court. lf there is any reason to suspect the password has been compromised in any
vvay, it is the duty and responsibility ofthe attorney/participant to immediately notify the
court. This should include the resignation or reassignment of the person with authority to
use the password. The C ourt will immediately delete that password from the electronic
filing system and issue a new password.

An attorney`s/participant’s registration will not waive conventional service of a summons
and complaint, subpoena, or other judicial process; submit the client to the jurisdiction of
the (`ourt; or operate as a consent to accept service ofpleadings, documents. and orders
in actions in which such attorney/participant has not entered an appearance. An
attorney’s/participant’s registration will constitute a waiver in law only of conventional
service of other non~process pleadings, documents, and orders in the case. The
attorney/participant agrees to accept, on behalf ofthe client, service ofnotice ofthe
electronic filing by hand, facsimile or authorized e~mail.

Upon receipt of your login and password, you are strongly encouraged to change your
password, which may be done through the Utilities function, to a name easily recalled.
You may be subjected to a fee, should the Clei‘k’s Off`ice have to create a new password
for you, or alternatively, you may be required to appear in person to receive your new
password.

Attorneys must be active members of the bar of this Court, or government attorneys who
are employed or retained by the United States, or who have been permitted to proceed pro
hac vice, must file pleadings electronically.

Whenever a filer’s e-mail address changes, the user agrees to update their ECF profile to
show the new e-mail address. The system is robust enough to permit counsel to change
their own e-inail address within the ECF System. Effective December 9, 2008, pursuant
the directions from the (,`ourt’s Information Technology Cominittee, the Clerk’s Office
will no longer nionitor bounced e-iiiails.
