On October 15th, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio revised its Electronic Filing Policies and Procedures Manual to allow the filing of larger documents up to 5.0 megabytes. The prior standard only allowed for the filing of documents up to 1.5 megabytes in size. The heightened standard ought to allow for increased electronic filings, consolidation of more documents and/or attachments into a single filing, and less manual filings (that follow an electronic notice of filing). It has been almost 2 years since electronic filing became the norm. Effective on January 1, 2006, the Northern District issued a notice that all attorneys were required to file electronically.
