D. Kan. Rule 5.4.1
Eligibility, Registration, Passwords
(a) Registration Requirements. An electronic filer must register as a Filing User of
the court’s Electronic Filing System, using the form prescribed by the clerk that
requires the Filing User’s name, address, telephone number, and email address. If
the registrant is an attorney, he or she must also provide a declaration that the
attorney is either admitted to the bar of this court or has been admitted pro hac vice.
(b) Attorneys Admitted Pro Hac Vice.
(1) Access to Electronic Filings. Attorneys who are admitted pro hac vice and
who register as Filing Users are granted access to the court’s Electronic
Filing System through PACER and will receive the automatically-generated
notices of electronic filing.
(2) Filing Prohibition. Attorneys who are admitted pro hac vice may not file
documents electronically unless they are employed by the United States of
America.
(3) Local Counsel’s Involvement. The court requires meaningful participation
by local counsel and, to that end, requires local counsel to sign all pleadings
and other papers filed. See D. Kan. Rule 83.5.4(c).
(c) Unrepresented Parties. A party who is not represented by an attorney may
register as a Filing User in the Electronic Filing System. If, during the course of
action, an attorney appears on the party’s behalf, the attorney must immediately
advise the clerk to terminate the party’s Filing User registration.
(d) Security. After registering, the Filing User will receive notification of the user login
and password. Filing Users must protect the security of their passwords and
immediately notify the clerk if they learn that their password has been compromised.
The court may sanction Filing Users who fail to comply with this provision.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
