NOTICE The U.S. Bankruptcy Court is currently in the process of migrating from its Electronic Records System (ERS) to the Case Management/Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) system. This transition is currently internal and does not affect ERS filing. The move to the CM/ECF system will occur sometime after March 2005. The Court will periodically update users on the transition and will offer both online and hands-on training for attorneys and their staff to ensure a smooth conversion. Please note that the Court’s home page includes resources for both ERS and CM/ECF and they are different filing systems. The Court currently uses ERS only and CM/ECF information is provided as a training tool in preparation for the transition to CM/ECF next year. An interactive training program “ECF 101" is currently available under the CM/ECF drop-down menu. The program is designed to familiarize attorneys and staff with CM/ECF. Additional training materials will be posted in the fall. |

NOTICE OF ENTRY OF ORDER WILL REPLACE SERVICE OF ACTUAL COPY OF ORDER IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES
The Bankruptcy Court has traditionally served interested parties to a contested matter or adversary proceeding with paper copies of all orders. However, all documents, including orders, are now available electronically on the court's website. Thus, in certain circumstances, the court will soon begin serving parties with a Notice of Entry of Order rather than an actual copy of the order. The Notice of Entry of Order will identify the order, the date the order was entered and the document number of the order on the docket. Parties can access the actual text of the order through the Court's website at www.mnb.uscourts.gov. The Notice of Entry of Order will be served through the court's noticing center. Due to increased time for processing and mailing from the noticing center, approximately four days may elapse between the date of entry of the order and parties' receipt of the notice. In cases of time-sensitivity, counsel and parties may monitor the court's website for entry of the order, after a hearing or deadline for objection. |

NEW PROCEDURE FOR SCHEDULING MOTIONS FOR RELIEF FROM STAY BEFORE JUDGE DREHER Judge Dreher is implementing a new calendaring system for motions for relief from stay. Attorneys will no longer need to contact the calendar clerk for a hearing date. Motions for relief from stay will be scheduled each Thursday at 2:30 pm (except Thursdays that are holidays). Attorneys can select their own hearing date(s), which must be at least 14 days after the date of service of their motion. BE ADVISED THAT THIS NEW PROCEDURE APPLIES ONLY TO JUDGE DREHER'S CASES. If you have any questions regarding this new procedure, please contact Judge Dreher's calendar clerk, Kristin, at 612-664-5261. |
