Archiving Has Begun!
This is the first box of papers docketed in CM/ECF. They were filed on April 29th and are stored in a box with that date. The official court record is the electronic file, so these papers constitute an archive. It is anticipated that a future agreement between the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and the Administrative Office of the U S Courts, consistent with the NARA Electronic Records Archives (ERA) Program, may allow the electronic record to be sufficient for archival purposes. After that time, the paper chronological files might not be needed. ΒΆ 8:57 AM
