Technology for e-filing in federal courts is continuing to evolve rapidly.

The amended Administrative Procedures to be posted by the Clerk pursuant to this Amended Order, which primarily concern “NextGen” (upgrade of the electronic case management System, known as CM/ECF), become effective December 6, 2021.

In the event of an interruption of service of the System, the Clerk will provide notification to electronic filers via email and the bar and the public by posting a notice on the Court’s website. 5. The Clerk will maintain a log of times and dates during which the System is out of service. When the System is out of service, the Clerk’s Office will accept filings via email or facsimile. The Clerk’s Office will also accept paper filings by mail or courier service if delivered to the Tallahassee BankruptcyCourthouse located at 110 4 East Park Avenue, Suite 100, Tallahassee, Florida 32301 during regular business hours.
