Consent to Receipt of Documents Through Alien Detainee Electronic Filing Program by Jeanty Falando Altenor. The Alien Detainee Electronic Filing Program operates pursuant to General Order 2018-1. When a detainee submits a document for electronic filing, designated detainment facility staff will email a scanned copy and mail the original to the Court. The detainee should not mail a paper copy to the Court or a Respondent. When the scanned copy is docketed by the Court, a Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF) is emailed to the facility. This NEF is printed by designated facility staff and given to the detainee with only the first page of the detainee's filing. Respondents are served by the Court. When designated facility staff receive an NEF for an entry by the Court, the NEF and a full copy of any attached order or document is printed and given to the detainee. The detainment facility will not print the NEF for documents filed by a Respondent. The Respondent must serve the detainee by mail. (nah) (Entered: 09/28/2026)
