D.R.I. LR Gen 305
Consequences of Electronic Filing
(a) Filing Defined. The electronic filing of a document through ECF consistent with these
Local Rules, together with the transmission of a NEF from the Court’s ECF system,
constitutes filing for all purposes of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rules
of Criminal Procedure and the Local Rules of this Court, and constitutes entry of the
document on the docket maintained by the Clerk pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 58 and 79
and Fed. R. Crim. P. 55.
(b) Confirmation of Court Filing. A document electronically filed through the Court’s
ECF system shall be deemed filed on the date and time stated on the NEF received from
the Court.
(c) Official Record. When a document has been filed electronically, the official record is
the electronic recording of the document as stored by the Court, and the filing party is
bound by the document as filed. Before filing a document with the Court, the Filing User
must verify the accuracy and/or legibility of the document.
(d) Filing Deadlines. Electronic filing does not alter the filing deadline for that document.
All electronic filings must be completed before midnight local time in order to be
considered timely filed that day unless a different time is established by court order.
Effective 12/2/13: §(b) amended. Effective 1/3/11: Rule added.

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.
