ECF became the primary method for filing documents with the court in Chapter 11 cases and associated adversary proceedings commenced as of April 1, 2002, and for all other cases and associated proceedings commenced as of January 1, 2003. The first ECF Chapter 11 case in Central Islip was case no. 02-82151; in Brooklyn, the first ECF Chapter 11 case was case no. 02-14048. All cases prior to these dates require documents to be filed on paper.
