ATTORNEY INFORMATION FOR CM/ECF
RELEASE VERSION 3.1 WHICH WAS INSTALLED FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 2008.
NOTICE TO COUNSEL RE: SUBMITTING PROPOSED ORDERS PURSUANT TO LOCAL RULE 5-137(b)
THAT CONTAIN TABLES/CELL FORMATTING IN THE DATE AND SIGNATURE PORTIONS OF DOCUMENTS - It has
come to the court's attention that many firms and attorneys are formatting the date and signature portions of proposed
orders using table/cell features of Word or WordPerfect. The use of cells creates problems for the court when using electronic
signatures and it creates additional problems when the court publishes the documents to PDF format for posting to the docket.
Counsel are advised that table/cell formatting in the date and signature portions of proposed orders should be avoided
when submitting them to the court. Counsel are further advised that, in the future, the use of table/cell formatting in the
date and signature portions of your proposed orders may cause your document(s) to be returned unsigned and/or unprocessed.
Any questions or inquiries should be directed to the Clerk of Court.
