ECF participants have complained that they receive email Notices of Electronic Filing (NEF’s) of documents in which they have no interest. In particular, ECF participants receive NEF’s in bankruptcy main cases if they are associated with the adversary proceeding, even if the adversary is closed and they have withdrawn from or were never involved in the main case.

To avoid receiving notices for bankruptcy cases when you are only involved in the related Adversary Proceeding, go to Utilities > Maintain Your ECF Account. Click the Email Information button. On the screen, choose the radio button 'Send notices for adversary proceedings in which I am directly involved but not for their related bankruptcy cases'. Click Return to Account Screen and on the next screen you must click Submit for any changes to become effective.

If your client’s involvement with a case has ended, you may file a withdrawal from case by filing a motion to withdraw.
