In what is known as the CLADTRAN system used by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of New York in the R.H. Macy cases, an
electronically filed document is "signed" by the interplay of three
events: (1) the appearance of "/s/ Person_Who_Signs" in the text of the
electronic version, (2) the submission of the text file to the CLADTRAN
database by an attorney having a unique user id and password and (3) a
printed copy of document being placed in the attorney's files with an
conventional signature.
