July 9, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 87 ORDER indicating that on July 1, 2005, the Western District of Pennsylvania implemented an electronic filing system known as CM/ECF. All attorneys are to be registered users of the system. Once a user is registered, he or she receives notice of any docket activity including court orders and party's filings. Additionally, the notice allows the actual document filed to be accessed remotely, negating the requirement of the filer to notice parties by mail. All individuals have access to the docket remotely if they are registered, and at the Clerk's Office at the courthouse if they are not. Information regarding registration is available at the website for the Western District at www.pawd.uscourts.gov or by contacting the Clerk's Office. Therefore, in the interests of judicial economy and pursuant to the standing order regarding electronic filing, It is hereby ordered that on or before July 23, 2018, all counsel to the above captioned case shall become registered users of the CM/ECF system.
