Follow the Conventions and Standards section in the CM/ECF User Manual when entering parties.  Do not create a new party in the Court’s database if a party’s name perfectly matches an existing party record.  Select the matching party record if the character strings for the existing party record match the typed name of the party in your case.  You are not required to verify that the matching names refer to the same person.  If a matching party record does not exist, create a new party by clicking on the Create New Party button.
