Form for Amendment to Schedules posted - fillable PDF or Word versions

CM/ECF Version 2.5 was installed August 28.  Changes

Document uploads to CM/ECF are now limited to 3 Megs. 
How to make smaller files...

Free Peek - The time frame to view documents without incurring PACER charges has been reduced from 30 days to 15 days. During the conversion to Version 2.4 free mail records older than 15 days have been deleted. You can still open your e-mail after 15 days; however, PACER fees will be incurred to view documents.

Summary E-mail - Other courts already using Version 2.4 have reported that the daily summary e-mail option for receipt of electronic notices is not working properly. Any users who have selected the daily summary option may fail to receive electronic notices. Users who are currently using this option have been contacted and told that they must start receiving individual notices until the problem is resolved. New users or existing users not currently using the summary option should not change this setting in their user account in an attempt to receive summary e-mail at this time. Once this option is working properly, we will post a notice to our website.

File Size Limit - The file size limit has been reduced from 4 MB (Megabytes) to 3 MB. The file limit applies to individual PDF files and is not a total of all attachments. However, if you are attaching multiple files of 2 MB or larger, the docketing event may fail to process. We are continuing to review problems incurred due to attaching large files and may reduce the file size limit to 2 MB in the future.

How to Amend Social Security Numbers - In order to conform with the privacy rules, amendments to the SS# are now a two-step process that require (1) an amendment for public viewing that only shows the last four digits of the SS#, and (2) the complete SS# filed using a private entry for the court using the Form 21 docket event. Complete instructions are available at http://www.kyeb.uscourts.gov/Amendment_SSN.htm

Schedule Events Changed - Individual schedule events (i.e., Schedule A, Schedule B, Schedule C, etc.) have been removed from the list of events under Bankruptcy/Miscellaneous and replaced with Schedule - Fee Due and Schedule - No Fee Due. Select the appropriate event and then input which schedules are being filed.

Schedules or Amended Schedules? - If the schedule(s) were not filed with the petition, select the appropriate Schedules event (Fee Due or No Fee Due) to file the schedule(s). If the schedule(s) were filed previously in the case, select the appropriate Amendment to Schedules event (Fee Due or No Fee Due).

When are Amendment Fees Due? - Amendment Fee FAQ is now available from the website at http://www.kyeb.uscourts.gov/kyeb/feefaq.htm Check this for clarification as to when an amendment fee is due.

Transcripts - Only transcripts of court hearings will be docketed to the record by the court. If an attorney wants a transcript of something other than a court hearing (i.e., deposition, etc.) docketed to the record, the attorney must file the transcript.

The US District Court for the Eastern District now has their ECF registration form on their web site. Anyone certified by another court may fill out the form and be certified by District Court. See http://www.kyed.uscourts.gov/aty-cmecf/ECF-REGISTRATION.pdf
