Answer: 

To determine who was served with a filed document, you must look two places:

1. To determine who was served electronically via ECF, go to the Docket Report while logged into ECF (not PACER) as follows:

  • Click on Reports on the ECF Main Menu Bar.
  • Click on Docket Report.
  • Enter the case number and click “Links to Notice of Electronic Filing” if it is not already checked. Click Run Report.
  • Find the document of interest and click on the silver ball to the left of the document number, then click Display Receipt.
  • The Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF) appears. Scroll to the bottom and find the heading Notice will be electronically mailed to: for a list of parties served via ECF.

2. To determine who was served by the filer or the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (whether by mail, fax, e-mail, or EDI), look at the filed certificate of service. For documents served by parties, a separate docket entry entitled BNC Certificate of Mailing linked to the original document. A BNC Certificate of Notice will be a separate docket entry linked to the order, judgment, notice, etc. and is generally docketed within two business days of the filing of original document. The list of those served accompanies a copy of the document, and delineates all who were served, and how.
