Effective 4/1/2026, LB Form 10 - Request to be Added or Removed from Courtesy NEF will be abrogated and replaced with text only events to activate and deactivate courtesy notification in a case.

Attorneys with a CM/ECF account in this district may sign up to receive courtesy notification of the electronic filing of documents.  By docketing a request for Courtesy Notification of Electronic Filing (NEF) to a case, the CM/ECF filer will receive an NEF of all docket activity in that case without  appearing in the case or filing a pleading. Note that the Courtesy NEF event is not available to parties with limited use CM/ECF accounts.

A Request for Courtesy Notice is made by docketing the event Request for Courtesy Notification of Electronic Filing (text only). A Request for Courtesy Notification can only be filed electronically through ECF. If at any time the recipient wishes to stop receiving courtesy notifications in a particular case, the filer will docket the event Request for Deactivation of Courtesy Notification of Electronic Filing (text only). Step by step docketing instructions can be found in the CM/ECF Attorney’s Manual through the link below.

Note that the activation of courtesy notification does not create any rights to receive notice under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002 or otherwise, and does not impose any obligation on the Court, the debtor or other parties in the case to deliver courtesy copies of any documents entered on the docket.  Deactivation from courtesy notifications cannot be used for withdrawal or substitution of counsel, LBR 2089-1 Withdrawal and Substitution of Counsel.
