Is Electronic Filing Required?

Generally, yes:  “Unless the presiding judge otherwise directs, an attorney—other than a prisoner pro se party—must file any pleading (except a complaint), motion, or other paper by electronic means, subject to the restrictions and requirements of the ECF Administrative Procedures Manual.  A party may, for cause, move to be excused from the requirement of electronic filing.”  See L.R. 5.1(e).  Judge McBryde does not allow electronic filing.
