Information for USBC/SDNY
ECF System Down (USDC/SDNY)
The courts CM/ECF system
will be down Friday July 23, 2010 from 4:00 am to
1:00 pm.
Pro Hac Vice Update for
USBC/SDNY
The court recently
updated their procedure for pro hac admission.
Please find below an overview of the process.
File the Motion with the Clerk's Office. Please make sure that the motion
includes the applicant's e-mail address. If filing the motion
conventionally, please include a diskette (or CD) containing the motion in
PDF format together with the hard copy of the motion.
Fee.
There is a $25.00 fee in each
case or adversary proceeding and for each attorney seeking admission. This fee is due at the time of the
filing of the motion. The motion, therefore, must be accompanied by a check or money order for the amount
due (payable to Clerk, US Bankruptcy Court, SDNY).
Furnish Chambers with a Courtesy Copy of the Motion and
Proposed Order.
When submitting the courtesy copy to the judge's chambers, please include a
diskette (or CD) containing the proposed order in Word or WordPerfect
format.
Password for CM/ECF (Case Management/Electronic Case File)
System. Where an
attorney seeking pro hac vice admission has also
submitted an application for a password to the Court’s CM/ECF system, the
Court will issue a password. The password should not be used for filing
documents in any case or adversary proceeding other than the case or
adversary proceeding (and on behalf of the party referred to) for which
admission was granted, unless the password holder applies for B and is
granted B pro hac vice admission in the new case
or adversary proceeding. However, an attorney who already holds a CM/ECF
password B based on a prior pro hac vice
admission B may use it to file a motion for pro hac
vice admission and pay the $25.00 fee (with a credit card while on ECF) in
a new case or adversary proceeding; no other filing should be made in the
new case or adversary proceeding until the motion is granted.
NOTE:
Pursuant to Local Rule 2090-1(f), the requirement that attorneys be
admitted to practice in the District Court (SDNY) or seek pro hac vice admission in the Bankruptcy Court does not apply to the following: 1) the
filing of a proof of claim or interest; and 2) an appearance by a child support
creditor or creditor’s representative.
CourtAlert CM/ECF Case Management System
We would like to remind
users of our system that once an attorney is admitted on a pro hac basis or fully admitted, please remember to always update
the attorney information in the case management system. As you are updating
the admission information it is always a good idea to do a quick scan of
the attorneys profile to verify any information that might be outdated.
Once the information is updated please advise the
attorney to verify the profile to make sure everyone is on the same page.
We are Committed to Remain the Best!
Thanks,
Izzy
Schiller,
President
