    2004 Amendment

    Form 33 is added to the appendix of forms. Rule 5(b) was amended to permit service by electronic means, including facsimile and electronic mail. Service by electronic means is allowed only if the attorney or party to be served consents in writing to such service. The consent must be filed with the clerk of the court and served on the other parties to the action and must identify: the persons upon whom such service must be made; the appropriate address or location for such service; the format to be used for attachments; and any other limits on the scope or duration of the consent.
