(a) All representatives before the Court must register as CM/ECF Filing Users by reviewing the information supplied on the Court's Web site (www.vetapp.gov) and completing the appropriate registration form.

(b) A self-represented party may file a motion seeking leave to register as a CM/ECF Filing User solely for purposes of that case. Only upon Court approval may a self-represented party file documents electronically. A self-represented party's Filing User status will cease upon termination of the case or termination of the party's self-represented status.

(c) A pro bono limited appearance will have Filing User status commencing at the time a motion for a stay of proceedings for the purpose of conducting case evaluation is filed. See U.S. Vet. App. R. 5. Such Filing User status will cease when any stay granted is lifted.

(d) Completion of the Court's CM/ECF Filer Registration constitutes consent to electronic service of all documents as provided in these Interim E-Rules and Misc. Order 19-07.

(e) Filing Users agree to protect the security of their passwords and immediately notify the CM/ECF Help Desk (202-418-3453) if they learn that their password has been compromised. Filing Users may be sanctioned for failure to comply with this provision.

(f) A Filing User who does not have any open cases with the Court and who desires to become inactive may withdraw from participation in CM/ECF. Withdrawal is accomplished by providing the Clerk with written notice (to efiling@vetapp.gov) of the intent to withdraw. See also Interim E-Rule 2(e).
