Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, Every pleading, motion, and other paper (except list, schedules, statement or amendments thereto) shall be signed by at least one attorney of record or, if the party is not represented by an attorney, all papers shall be signed by the party. An attorney's/participant's password issued by the court combined with the user's identification, serves as and constitutes the attorney/participant's signature. Therefore, an attorney/participant must protect and secure the password issued by the court. If there is any reason to suspect the password has been compromised in any way, it is the duty and responsibility of the attorney/participant to immediately notify the court. This should include the resignation or reassignment of the person with authority to use the password. The attorney/participant should change the password immediately. It is YOUR responsibility to keep your contact information current. If you relocate and/or change email addresses, it is imperative that those changes be made to your User Account. An attorney's/participant's registration will constitute a waiver in law of conventional service of documents. The attorney/participant agrees that the CM/ECF-generated notice of electronic service will constitute service of the electronic filing on behalf of the client.
