E.D. Mo. L.R. 2.12
Service in Electronic Cases
(A) Service of Public Papers.
Service of public papers on other parties as required by Fed.R.Civ.P. 5, and
service by the Court of notice of entry of an order or judgment as required by Fed.R.Civ.P. 77,
may be made by means of the Court’s Notice of Electronic Filing where the person so served
has consented in writing to service by such means. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 5(b)(2)(E). An attorney’s
registration for electronic case filing constitutes written consent to such service. No certificate
of service is required when a public paper is served by filing it with the Court’s electronic filing
system. Service pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 4 may not be effected by electronic means.
(B) Service of Papers Filed Under Seal.
An attorney filing a paper under seal must serve opposing counsel and any
unrepresented parties by means other than the Court’s electronic filing system, as no service of
sealed filings occurs via the Court’s electronic filing system. The sealed paper shall include a
certificate of service reflecting the means by which service was made.
(New rule added May 15, 2003, effective October 1, 2003; Amended October 11, 2018, effective December 1, 2018)
