The notice generated and e-mailed by the ECF system constitutes service of all electronically filed documents on attorneys and pro se parties registered to use the ECF system. Independent service, either by paper or otherwise, need not be made on those attorneys or parties. Incarcerated pro se litigants, non-incarcerated pro se litigants who choose not to file electronically or whose permission to file electronically has been revoked, and attorneys who are exempt from electronic filing must be served by the filing party through the conventional means of service set forth in FRAP 25.
(b) Attorney Exemption. Upon motion and a showing of good cause, the court may exempt an attorney from the electronic filing requirements and authorize filing and service by means other than the use of the ECF system. The motion, which need not be filed or served electronically, must be filed at least 14 days before the brief, petition, or other document is due. Also see 11th Cir. R. 31-5.
