| Rule 5003 of the Federal Bankruptcy Rules of Procedure provides, in part, " (d)
Index of Cases; Certificate of Search. The clerk shall keep indices of all cases and adversary proceedings
as prescribed by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. On request, the
clerk shall make a search of any index and papers in the clerk's custody and certify whether a case or
proceeding has been filed in or transferred to the court or if a discharge has been entered in its records." |
Most Courts across the county, including Ohio bankruptcy Courts, require all cases to be filed
electronically. Electronic filing includes online submission and filing by diskette at the clerk's office. On
03-15-04 the Ohio Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District issued the following order: "Notice to Attorneys
Concerning Paper Filings: Any Attorney wishing to file a new petition or other document on paper, under
circumstances that are not governed by one of the exceptions to mandatory electronic case filing set forth in
Amended General Order 03-1, shall initially file a motion for leave to file on paper. The motion, which may be
filed via the mail or over the counter, shall be accompanied by an affidavit and proposed order. The affidavit
shall set forth the specific reasons that the filing cannot be made electronically."
