(a) Service by the Clerk. The Clerk shall provide notice by mail of the entry of a judgment or order to the contesting parties, the local office of the U.S. trustee and the case trustee only. In adversary proceedings, the Clerk shall provide notice by mail of the entry of a judgment or order only to contesting parties, unless the U.S. trustee or case trustee specifically request notice or the court otherwise orders. Any other party wishing to receive notice of the entry of judgments or orders of the Court is responsible for monitoring the case for the entry of such orders and judgments, and shall obtain copies at their own expense. If the Court orders that notice of the entry of a judgment or order be given to entities other than the contesting parties, the U.S. trustee and case trustee, the Clerk is authorized to designate the party responsible for providing notice by mail of the entry of a judgment or order to such other entities.

(b) Service of Court Orders or Judgments on Noncontesting Parties. Upon receipt of a Court Order or Judgment with instructions to serve other noncontesting parties, counsel (or a pro se party) shall forthwith serve a copy of said order or judgment upon all persons designated by the Clerk to receive service, or if none, on those persons who have filed their appearances and requested service of all notices in the case. A certificate of service shall be filed with the Clerk in the manner provided for in LBR 9013-3.
