  By submitting this registration form, I agree to abide by the following rules:  
     
  1. I, the limited filer, agree that a filing made with my judiciary login and password constitutes my signature for all purposes, including the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and the local rules of the court, and shall have the same force and effect as if I had affixed my signature on a paper document being filed. Signatures will be indicated by “/s/” and the typed name of the person signing in the following format: “/s/ Jane Smith” on the signature line.  
     
  2. I agree to adhere to the local rules, orders, policies and procedures governing electronic filing for the Court. I understand that a limited filer’s privileges are narrow in scope. I will only use CM/ECF to electronically file the following: Personal Financial Management Course Certificate (Course/Agency Provider) or Withdrawal of Personal Financial Management Course Certificate (Course/ Agency Provider). The Court reserves the right to modify these options or add additional options as deemed necessary.  
     
  3. I must pay any fees incurred for transactions made in CM/ECF in accordance with 28 U.S.C. 1930 and the Bankruptcy Miscellaneous Fee Schedule.  
     
  4. I agree to protect the security of my password.  
     
  5. I will change my password through my CM/ECF account if I suspect it has been compromised and immediately notify the Court.  
     
  6. I agree to maintain my contact information (e.g. email address, mailing address, telephone number(s), and facsimile number). All changes will be made through my CM/ECF account.  
     
  7. I understand that electronically filed documents requiring original signatures from any person other than me must be maintained by me in paper form, bearing the original signatures for 4 years after the closing of the case or proceeding in which the documents were filed. Upon the Court’s request, I must provide the original said documents for review.  
     
  8. I agree to comply with the redaction requirements, pursuant to Fed R Bankr P. 9037. I understand that filers, and not the Court, are solely responsible for redacting documents.  
     
  9. I understand that using my limited filer privileges to monitor general activity in any case in which I have not filed a document is beyond the scope of my limited filer privileges. The limited filer account is intended to perform specified transactions, as set forth in paragraph 2. In order to view and retrieve electronic docket sheets and documents available on CM/ECF, I will use PACER or the Courts’ Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed. [Note: A PACER login and password may be obtained from the PACER Service Center. Registration for a PACER account is available online at: http://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov. For assistance, call 1-800-676-6856.]  
     
  10. If the Court determines that limited filers may receive service/notice electronically, then I expressly consent to service and notice by electronic means from the Court and other filing users in all cases, except with regard to service of a summons and complaint filed under Fed R Bankr. P. 9014, or a subpoena under Fed R Bankr. P. 9016.  
     
  11. By contacting the Court, I may request to terminate my status as a limited filer at any time. If I cease to be an employee or agent of an entity on whose behalf documents are being electronically filed, or for any other reason cease to be authorized to file electronically on behalf of said entity, I will promptly contact the Court and request to terminate my filing privileges.  
     
  12. I understand that, if I am a provider of a post-petition instructional course concerning personal financial management and I am filing a certificate of the debtor’s completion of the course, the certificate must be timely filed in accordance with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1007(c). I understand that my limited filer privileges may be revoked if I do not file a certificate of a debtor’s completion of the course in a timely manner, as failure to do so could result in the closing of the debtor’s case without a discharge. I understand that, if my filing privileges are revoked by the Court, the Court will notify the Executive Office for the US Trustees of the revocation.  
     
  13. At any time without advance notice, the Court may, sua sponte, terminate my account for any reason and require future documents to be filed conventionally or in any other format specified by the Court.  
     
  14. If the terms and conditions change, information regarding the changes will be posted at: www.flmb.uscourts.gov. I understand that it is my responsibility as the limited filer to read any posted changes. Continued use of my CM/ECF account following any posted changes means that I accept and agree to the changes.  
     
 

15. I understand that, if I am a provider of a post-petition instructional course concerning personal financial management and I am filing a certificate of the debtor’s completion of the course, I am subject to the U.S. Department of Justice regulation: 28 CFR 58.35(b) which states:

An approved provider shall send a certificate to a debtor, or notify the appropriate bankruptcy court in accordance with the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, that a debtor has completed the instructional course no later than three business days after the debtor completed an instructional course and after completion of a debtor course evaluation form that evaluates the effectiveness of the instructional course. The approved provider shall not withhold the issuance of a certificate or notice of course completion to the appropriate bankruptcy court because of a debtor’s failure to submit an evaluation form, though the provider should make reasonable effort to ensure that debtor’s complete and submit course evaluation forms.
