The Court has jurisdiction over this case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334 and the general
order of reference entered in this district on July 16, 1984. This proceeding is a core proceeding
under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A) and (O).

This opinion is not intended for publication or citation. The availability of this opinion, in
electronic or printed form, is not the result of a direct submission by the Court.

On October 22, 2010, a group of creditors styled as the A&M trustee committee
(“committee”) filed a motion to file documents with the Court on paper as opposed to uploading
them through the Court’s electronic court filing system (“ECF”). The motion states that the
documents consists of letters from creditors in support of dismissing the case. The letters total
2,320 pages. The motion states that the letters are too voluminous for electronic filing.

Federal Rules of Procedure 5(e) and 83, Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure
5005(a)(2), 9011, 9029 and 9036, and Local Bankruptcy Rules 5005-2(b) and 9037-1 authorize
this Court to establish practices and procedures for filing, signing, maintaining and verifying

documents by electronic means. General Order 03-01 at 1. Pursuant to General Order 03-01,
most documents must be filed through ECF. The order carves out an exception for “[a]ny
document for which prior authorization to file on paper has been obtained from the Court upon
motion and order for good cause shown ... .” General Order 03-01 at 2 (emphasis added).

The Court finds that the committee has not shown good cause for electronic filing. The
committee can upload all 2,320 pages by dividing a PDF of the documents into smaller files that
will be accepted by ECF. Questions regarding the ECF’s size limitations should be directed to
the Court’s ECF helpline at 330-458-2120. Furthermore, paper filing of a record of this size
would create an administrative burden on the Court, especially if the creditors’ letters are in

numerous different formats.
Accordingly, the motion is denied.
An order will issue with this opinion.
