The following announcement was posted on the Court's website today: Reminder of Requirement to Maintain Email and Other Address Information in CM/ECF

 

The Court’s CM/ECF system sends emails regarding case activity to primary and any additional email addresses that registered attorney users have entered in their CM/ECF user accounts. Often the Court receives returned or “bounced-back” emails primarily as a result of email addresses being entered incorrectly or email accounts being full or closed.

Please be advised that the Court’s Local Rule 1001-2(h) states “Registration as an Electronic User constitutes: (1) waiver of the right to receive notice by first-class mail and consent to receive notice electronically; and (2) waiver of the right to service by personal service or first-class mail and consent to electronic service, except with regard to summons and complaint under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7004…”

It is your responsibility to properly maintain your CM/ECF user account with up-to-date email addresses in order to receive all electronic notices timely in order to receive case activity emails in to monitor case activity.

To update email addresses, log into CM/ECF, select Utilities and Maintain Your ECF Account and then select “email”. You may update and add email addresses but may not delete your primary email address. For additional information on how to update your email address click here.

Updates to your name, firm name, and mailing address information cannot be made through Maintain Your ECF Account under Utilities. If your user account requires these types of updates, please go to the "Help Desk" on the Court's external website and select "Access to CM/ECF (Including Log-in and Account information) or you may access the Help Desk by clicking here.

Please also be reminded that it is very important that mailing and email addresses also remain updated with the Florida Bar and the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. Failure to do so may result in not receiving important renewal information.
