Court Notice: Effective 5/1/2013 re: Orders in Middle District of Florida Bankruptcy Court

Effective May 1, 2013 the Clerks office of the Middle District of Florida Bankruptcy Court will no longer serve copies of orders to interested parties in a case.  With very few exceptions it will be the responsibility of the Movant, the prevailing party or other party as directed by the Court ( Responsible Party) to serve copies of signed orders to interested parties and file a proof of service in compliance with Local Rules 7005-1, 7005-3, 9014-1 and 9072-1 and F.R.B.P. 2002, 5005, 7004 and 7005.

Proposed Orders must include the statement Attorney [Name of submitting attorney] is directed to serve a copy of this order on interested parties and file a proof of service within 3 days of entry of the order.

The docketing of the order by the Clerks office will generate a Notice of Electronic filing (NEF).  Once entered on the CM/ECF docket, the Responsible Party must promptly serve a copy of the order to interested parties and file a proof of service of the order within 3 days of the entry of the order.

The proof of service should be filed using the CM/ECF docket event Proof of Service and be properly related to the served order.
