Can an attorney who is not designated as local counsel electronically file the document in CM/ECF for local counsel (meaning another attorney files the motion in CM/ECF under the local counsel’s login/password)?

Answer: 

Only the designated local counsel can electronically file the motion in CM/ECF. However,
Section 3C of the CM/ECF Administrative Procedures, allows the designated local counsel to
“authorize” an employee of his/her office to use their password, but local counsel is ultimately
“responsible for all documents filed with their passwords, whether by Users or any other
person.”
