General instructions to help ensure your case is filed without errors:
- If you are requesting a specific Court within a County for case creation, the filing document should indicate which Court is requested. If the filing document does not have an indication, the filing will be processed in accordance with local rules for that case type within the specific County.
- Each filing must have a Filing Code,
Document, and Related Party selected. The related party indicates the party
filing the pleading. The related party shows in the case management system as
the "filed by" party. Exhibits should be filed as attachments to the
original filing code.
- Each filing must contain one lead
document. If the lead document is too large, the document can be filed in
sections using the attachment option. Document size should be limited to
25MB. An envelope cannot be larger than
35MB.
- If you are filing a document, such as a
summons or letters, that requires updating by the Clerk, the filer must select
the Proposed Notice filing code. The documents should be attached as lead
documents. Do not attach proposed notice documents to other pleadings.
- If you are filing a proposed order with a motion, the proposed order must be submitted using a separate filing code called "Proposed Order." The proposed order will be the lead document on that filing code. Do not attach a proposed order to other pleadings.
