1. This system is for use only in cases designated by the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The system may be used to file and view electronic documents, docket sheets, and notices. For more information about training opportunities, please visit our web site at www.casd.uscourts.gov.

2. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, every pleading, motion and other paper shall be signed by at least one attorney of record or, if the party is not represented by an attorney, all papers shall be signed by the party. An attorney's/participant's password issued by the court combined with the user's identification, serves as and constitutes the attorney's/participant's signature. Therefore, an attorney/participant must protect and secure the password issued by the court. If there is any reason to suspect the password has been compromised in any way, it is the duty and responsibility of the attorney/participant to immediately notify the court. This should include the resignation or reassignment of the person with authority to use the password. The Court will immediately delete the password from the electronic filing system and issue a new password.

3. Each attorney desiring to file pleadings or other papers electronically must complete and sign an Attorney Registration Form. Registration as a Filing User constitutes: (1) consent to receive notice electronically and waiver of the right to receive notice by first class mail pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5(b)(2)(D); (2) consent to electronic service and waiver of the right to service by personal service or first class mail pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5(b)(2)(D), except with regard to service of a summons and complaint. Waiver of service and notice by first class mail applies to notice of the entry of an order or judgment. Notice by electronic means is complete as set forth in this court's General Order No. 550, which is available on our website at www .casd.uscourts.gov.

4. A user accesses court information via the court's Internet site or through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records ("PACER") Service Center.
