being transmitted, number of pages of pleading or paper, sender's name and
sender's telephone and facsimile numbers.

    (4)  Receipt of Documents. A pleading or such other paper transmitted by

machine registers the transmission of the last page. If that time is after 5
p.m., the pleading or other paper shall be deemed received the following day.
If a pleading or other paper is received after any time set forth as a deadline
herein, and prior to the next day, the pleading or other paper shall be deemed

    (1)  Email Availability.  Pleadings and such papers may be served by email
only upon an attorney or pro se party who makes available, as provided in this

An attorney or pro se party makes an email address available by giving notice,
which must include:

    (i)  The email address to which service may be made.

    (ii)  Whether service on this email address will return an automatic
          confirmation via return email to the sender.

    (iii) The phone number, if any, that the sender must call to announce
          service to the email address.

    (iv)  Whether service by email must be followed by service of hard
          copies. Notice of the availability of an email address for service of pleadings
          and papers for a specific case may be given in the Notice of Appearance or any
          other notice filed with the Court. Notice of the availability of an email
          address for service of pleadings and papers for all cases may be made in
          correspondence directly to attorneys and parties. Any notice of availability of
          an email address for service may be modified or revoked in the same manner as
          originally given.

    (2)   Paper Format. Pleadings and papers served by email must be formatted in
the Adobe Acrobat format. Papers without color should be in black-and-white
format to save space. Pleadings and papers shall be attached to an email served
at the appropriate email address. No email may exceed one (1) megabyte in size.
Each pleading and paper must be formatted into a single attachment unless it
exceeds the size limitation, in which case the pleading or paper may be split
across attachments to multiple emails.

information: identification of each pleading and paper being served in the
email, the sender's name and company name, and a phone number to which
transmission problems shall be reported.

    (4)   Service Confirmation. If the recipient's notice of the availability of a
service email address indicates that the email address will return an automatic
confirmation by email, then service shall be complete when the sender receives
such automatic confirmation. If the recipient's notice specifies a phone number
that the sender must call to announce service, then service is complete once
the sender calls the phone number and announces service. Announcement by phone
may be made in voicemail and shall indicate the number of emails sent. Service
completed after 5:00 PM shall be considered completed the next business day.

    (5)   Delivery of Hard Copy to Recipient. If the recipient's notice of the
availability of a service email address indicates that service of hard copies
is required, the sender shall mail or deliver a copy of the emailed pleadings
and papers to the recipient of the email by the next day.
