Overview
Last month, the Southern District announced revised ECF rules, effective as of September 3, allowing letters (including letter motions) to be filed electronically, unless the assigned judge’s rules provide otherwise. Several judges have recently revised their rules to explicitly require or allow ECF filing of letters: Judge Schofield, Judge Crotty, Judge Nathan, Judge Furman, Judge Engelmayer, Judge Cote, Judge Berman, Judge Patterson, Judge Torres, Judge Peck, and Judge Gorenstein. [NOTE: This post was updated to reflect additional judges who have updated their rules but whose names were not in the original version of the post.]
