Honorable Stephen L. Johnson, Chief Judge • Edward Emmons, Clerk of Court
Effective January 1, 2023, the Northern District of California |
The court has revised B.L.R. 5005-2 and its Electronic Case Filing Procedures (the “ECF Procedures”), paragraph 7, to allow for the electronic filing of pleadings and other documents bearing the electronic signatures of third parties, i.e., CM/ECF Registered Participants who signed, but did not file, the given document and/or the electronic signatures of third parties, such as debtors or corporate representatives who are not Registered Participants and did not file the given document.
New B.L.R. 5005-2 is largely consistent with Third Amended General Order 39 (March 29, 2021), which was abrogated by General Order 44 (July 25, 2023). A redline version comparing prior B.L.R. 5005-2 to the new B.L.R. 5005-2 is below.
The Judicial Conference of the United States approved adjustments to the miscellaneous fee schedule for bankruptcy courts.
The new Chapter 13 attorney fees and related forms applying to cases filed on or after November 1, 2023, are available here.
Please be advised that the Honorable Hannah L. Blumenstiel will not be available on Tuesday, December 26, 2023 through and including Saturday, January 6, 2024.
