CM/ECF has a “batch filing” feature. Courts will be able to define the events for which batch filing will be available; the user will see these events listed in a pull-down menu. After selecting the event, the user is presented with a box in which multiple case numbers can be entered (or, a list of case numbers can be “pasted in” from a previously created document). The application then prompts the user for the appropriate PDF document to be attached to the event for each case in the list. CM/ECF also has a batch program for use by Chapter 7 trustees, to allow mass docketing of asset and no-asset reports.
