Pursuant to Local Rule 5.2(f), a paper copy of all electronically-filed documents other than an appearance form or a return of service must be provided for the judge within a day after the filing, unless the judge determines that a paper copy is not required.

Because not all judges require paper copies of all documents, please consult the courts website, www.ilnd.uscourts.gov and visit the assigned judge's page to determine his/her requirements.
