Welcome to the Santa Rosa/Eureka division of the United States Bankruptcy
Court. Your litigation experience will be rewarding and fruitful if you learn our
procedures and present your case clearly and succinctly.
In order to practice in this court, you will need a copy of the Local Rules for the Northern District of California and a copy of our "Northern Counties Bankruptcy Practice." (new version effective 1/1/05). Both of these are available online or from the clerk by calling (707) 525-8539.
The Santa Rosa Bankruptcy Court is an electronic court; most court orders are submitted, signed, served and docketed electronically. Also, most communication with the bar is electronic. In order to make sure you are kept in the loop, all attorneys should email Dawn_Passalacqua@canb.uscourts.gov in order to be placed on the court's email list.
This division is entirely electronic and no longer maintains paper files. As of January 1, 2005, no attorney may file paper pleadings. All attorneys wishing to practice bankruptcy law in this district must obtain an ECF login and password. Paper "chambers copies" of electronically-filed pleadings are neither required nor desired.
