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 Electronic Case Filing Procedures (Section 8 - Service).
After a pleading is e-filed, the system sends a NEF to 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:
Individuals who receive electronic notification of the filing are permitted "one-free-look" at the document by single clicking on the associated hyperlinked document number embedded in the NEF.
It is the responsibility of the filer to send paper copies of the pleading and the NEF to any attorney or pro se party whose name appears at the bottom of the NEF - under the heading "Notices will not be electronically sent to:" Pro se parties and debtors will not have access to e-file and must be served with a paper copy of all filed pleadings.
Options for receiving your NEF e-mail notification are located in the Utilities section of the blue menu bar - select Maintain Your Account - click on E-mail Information, then make your selections.
