of documents that are filed, attorneys must be admitted to practice
before the Court and must be registered to file electronically. Upon
registration, attorneys will be provided with a user id and password
that will allow access to the system. The user id and password will
also serve as the attorney’s signature for Fed. R. Civ. P.11
purposes on all documents that are filed electronically. Attorney
admission and electronic filing registration forms are available through
the Clerk’s Office and on the Court’s web page. To begin
