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.
