Subdivision (b) complements Rule
9021
(b). When a district court acts as an appellate court, Rule
8016
(b) requires the clerk to give notice of the judgment on appeal.
This rule is amended to enable the United States trustee to be informed of all developments in the case so that administrative and supervisory functions provided in
28 U.S.C. §
586
(a) may be performed.
Rule
5
(b) F.R.Civ.P., which is made applicable in adversary proceedings by Rule
7005, is being restyled and amended to authorize service by electronic means—or any other means not otherwise authorized under Rule
5
(b)—if consent is obtained from the person served. The amendment to Rule
9022
(a) authorizes the clerk to serve notice of entry of a judgment or order by electronic means if the person served consents, or to use any other means of service authorized under Rule
5
(b), including service by mail. This amendment conforms to the amendments made to Rule
77
(d) F.R.Civ.P.
Changes Made After Publication and Comments. No changes were made.
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, referred to in subd. (b), are set out in the Appendix to Title 28, Judiciary and Judicial Procedure.
