LBR 5005-1 The Trustee receives Motions and other pleadings by way of CM/ECF, with such pleadings being entered into our bankruptcy management system. Receipt of these pleadings by mail is duplicative, sometimes submitted with multiple attachments, and unnecessary to the operation of our Trusteeship.
