Indiana Law: Southern District of Indiana Implements Changes

Changes to Delivery of E-mailed Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs)

Effective January 4, 2016, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana will implement important new changes in the delivery of e-mailed Notices of Electronic Filing (“NEFs”). The court’s CM/ECF system will begin generating NEFs for both docketed and e-filed events in sealed cases and for sealed entries in non-sealed cases. For more information, click here.

Sealed filings are governed by Local Rule 5-11 and Local Criminal Rule 49.1-2. Attorney e-filers are encouraged to review updates to the court’s ECF Policies and Procedures Manual (Sections 11 and 18), which address changes in service requirements for sealed filings.

For more information, a helpful Technical Guide for Using Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) is available on the E-Filing Resources page of the court’s website. It contains detailed procedures on accessing documents from sealed/redacted NEFs.

1. Attorney Admission to Practice fee will increase from $186 to $226.
