Notice of Electronic Filing

E-Mail Notification of Documents Filed
	The Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF) represents the Certificate of Service from CM/ECF and is the filer's confirmation the e-filing was successful. A Certificate of Service verifying service by the attorney is still required. See ECF Procedures (Section 8 - Service).
Features of the NEF
	After a pleading is e-filed, the system sends a Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF) to the each designated attorney who has registered with the Court for e-filing, or has registered to receive electronic notice of filings. The NEF provides confirmation that ECF has recorded the transaction and that the pleading is now an official court document.
	It also displays
		the date and time of your transaction
		the attorney who filed the document
		the docket entry number that was assigned
		the docket text
		the names and e-mail addresses of attorneys who were served electronically, and
		the names and addresses of those who require service by U.S. mail.
