(d) Government employees and law enforcement with authorized access

to eFile in cases relating to their functions; and

(e) Self-represented parties permitted to electronically file, subject to

in this subsection shall be construed to convey a right to file

electronically if authentication or training requirements are not available

or have not been completed by a self-represented party.

(2) Registration.

(a) The eFiler’s login ID/user name, password, and profile will constitute

the eFiler’s electronic identity and user account for purposes of this the

eFiling rules. eFilers must register online through the Kentucky Court of

Justice’s KYeCourts website.

(b) The eFiler will be subject to the terms of the eFiling system user

agreement.

(c) A Commonwealth or County Attorney may elect to use an office

account to receive notifications for all eFiled documents in criminal cases

within their jurisdiction. Creation and use of an office account under

this subsection constitutes consent to electronic service of all documents

as defined in these rules.

(3) Responsibilities of eFilers.

(a) If an eFiler believes that the security of his or her electronic identity

has been compromised or that a threat to the system exists, the eFiler

must notify the AOC eFiling website administrator.

(b) It is the responsibility of the eFiler to have a valid and working email

address that has not exceeded its size limitation in order to receive

orders and other documents served electronically. It is not the

responsibility of the court, the clerk, or the AOC to ascertain whether an

eFiler is receiving notifications from the eFiling system via email.

(c) If an eFiler’s email address, phone number, or other information

provided in the eFiler’s profile has changed, the eFiler must promptly

make the necessary changes to his or her profile.

Section 7. Format and Technical Requirements

(1) Conversion to PDF/A or PDF format required. Electronically filed

documents must meet the same requirements of format and page limits as

paper documents conventionally filed pursuant to the Kentucky Rules of

Procedure, including page and word limits.

(a) Documents must be converted to PDF/A or PDF format before they

are filed in the eFiling system. PDF/A is the preferred format for

purposes of this pilot project.

(b) The eFiler must ensure that the filing is an accurate representation of

the document and is complete and readable.

(2) Envelope size limitation. eFiling envelopes, including all attachments, must

not exceed fifty (50) megabytes.

(3) Format. Documents filed electronically must comply with the following

format requirements:

(a) 8 ½” x 11” size;

(b) At least 200 dot-per-inch (DPI) resolution;

(c) No unintelligible images (e.g., no all-black images);

(d) Documents must not be secured, password-protected, or have other

features limiting access;

(e) Only readable word and viewable pictures or images, and valid, non-

corrupted tables shall be included;

(f) Documents must not be corrupted (e.g., a corrupt file having -0- bytes

of data); and

(g) Documents must comprise the complete image or file. The eFiler

must ensure and verify that uploads to the eFiling system are properly

completed.

(4) Nonconforming documents. Documents which do not conform to the above

requirements or which cannot be scanned and converted to a PDF or PDF/A

(i.e., video or audio recordings, large maps, etc.) must be filed conventionally,

with electronic notice to all parties.

(5) Color documents. Exhibits or attachments containing color images may be

eFiled, but must also be conventionally filed for the record.

Section 8. Electronic Filing in District and Circuit Courts

(1) In order to become an eFiler in a supported action, the eFiler must

electronically file an Entry of Appearance or any other supported document in

that case, or the eFiler may use a supported feature for the purpose of opting

into cases. Registering as an eFiler does not automatically opt an eFiler into

the eFiler’s other existing cases. Registration is not complete until the Circuit

Court Clerk clerk transmits a Notification of Court Processing accepting the

filing. Electronic service through the eFiling system will not be made on parties

associated with the case who are not registered eFilers.

(2) Notice of Electronic Filing.

(a) Upon the filing of a document, a Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF), with

a hyperlink to the electronic document, will be automatically generated

by the eFiling system, and sent via email to the email addresses of all

parties who have registered in the case. The NEF will record the date

and time of the filing of the document in the time zone of the receiving

court.

(b) All notices of electronic filing and other system notifications will be

viewable in the eFiling system under the “Notifications” screen.

(c) In addition to the caption requirements set out in CR 10.01, each

document filed electronically will receive a stamp by the eFiling system

indicating the document has been electronically filed.

(3) Filing. Except for filings pursuant to Section 9 of this Order, the electronic

transmission of a document to the eFiling system in accordance with the

procedures specified in these rules, together with the generation and

transmission of a Notice of Electronic Filing from the court with a hyperlink to

the electronically filed document, constitutes filing of the document for all

purposes of the Kentucky Rules of Procedure.

(a) A document filed electronically is deemed filed on the date and time

stated on the Notice of Electronic Filing from the court, regardless of

when the eFiler actually transmitted the document or when the clerk

actually processed the envelope.

(b) Filing a document electronically does not alter the filing deadline for

that document. Filing must be completed BEFORE MIDNIGHT, in the time

zone of the receiving court, in order to be timely filed. However, if time of

day is of the essence, the presiding judge may order a document filed by

a certain time.

(c) Emailing a document to the clerk’s office or to the presiding judge

does not constitute filing the document. A document will not be

considered filed until the eFiling system generates a Notice of Electronic

Filing with a hyperlink to the electronically filed document.

(d) While the eFiling system is designed to accept filings 24 hours a day,

it may not always be available due to scheduled maintenance or

technical difficulties experienced by the eFiler or system. eFilers are

encouraged to file documents in advance of filing deadlines and during

normal business hours in the event assistance or support is needed from

the AOC’s eFiling help line.

(4) Case entries. The clerk receiving an electronic filing will create a case entry

using the information provided by the eFiler to record the document filed. If

errors in the filing or case entry are discovered by the clerk, the clerk may:

(a) make minor corrections to the case entry, with or without notifying

the parties;

(b) return the envelope to the eFiler indicating what further action, if any,

is required to address the error. Filers notified of an error through a

Notification of Court Processing shall make corrections within two (2)

business days of receiving the returned envelope from the clerk.

Corrections shall be made in good faith and limited to the specified

error(s) identified in the Notification of Court Processing. Timely

correction shall preserve the original date and time found on the Notice

of Electronic Filing. Failure to make corrections could result in a failure

to comply with applicable deadlines. Local rules regarding motion hour

deadlines are unaffected by this subsection; or

(c) disregard the error.

(5) Proposed or tendered documents.

(a) If the filing of an electronically submitted document requires leave of

court, such as an amended complaint or a document to be filed out of

time, the eFiler should attach the proposed document as an attachment

to the motion requesting leave to file. If the court grants the motion and

allows the proposed document, the eFiler must refile the proposed

document to make it part of the record.

(b) If the eFiler is submitting a proposed order or other proposed or

tendered documents such as, but not limited to, judgments, findings of

fact and conclusions of law, or jury instructions, the order or other

documents may be submitted in PDF or PDF/A format as well as an

editable format in .doc format capable of being read by Microsoft Word,

and should be identified as “proposed.”

(6) Attachments and exhibits. Attachments and exhibits which do not conform

to the requirements set out in Section 7 or which cannot be scanned and

converted to a PDF or PDF/A (i.e., video or audio recordings, large maps, etc.)

must be filed conventionally, with electronic notice to all parties. A party must

serve conventionally filed materials on other parties as if not subject to these

electronic filing procedures.

Section 9. Electronic Filing in Appellate Courts

Electronic filing in the appellate courts shall substantially conform with the

provisions of section 8, except as follows:

(1) Filing. The electronic transmission of a document to the eFiling system

in accordance with the procedures specified in these rules, together with

the generation and transmission of a Notice of Electronic Filing from the

court with a hyperlink to the electronically filed document, constitutes

the submission of a tendered document to the appellate courts. The clerk

of the appellate court shall review all electronic filings for conformity

pursuant to RAP 27(E) to determine whether filings may be docketed.

(2) The eFiling system will generate a Notice of Court Processing indicating

whether a tendered document has been accepted for review. The clerk

will send a separate receipt notice from the case management system

indicating the document(s)’ filing status.

(3) If the clerk determines a filing is deficient, corrected filings shall be re-

submitted using a new envelope.

(4) An untimely filing that is not accompanied with a motion for enlargement

of time may be rejected by the clerk.

(5) The clerks of the appellate courts may adopt additional formatting and

technical requirements for the electronic filing of briefs and, if so

adopted, post information regarding the requirements in a conspicuous

location for reference.

Section 10. Discovery and Sealed Documents

(1) Discovery requests and responses as identified in CR 5.06 and RCr 7.24

shall not be electronically filed unless ordered by the court, used at trial,

necessary to a pretrial motion, propounded at the onset of an action pursuant

to CRs 33.01(2), 34.01(2), and 36.01(2), or agreed to by stipulation.

(2) The eFiling system will not be used for the electronic exchange of discovery

materials and other communications between the parties that are not intended

to be filed with the court. Parties may exchange discovery materials

electronically by mutual consent consistent with CR 5.02, but not via the

court’s eFiling system.

(3) The following documents must be conventionally filed: (i) any document in a

sealed case; (ii) any document ordered sealed in an otherwise public record;

(iii) a motion to seal and any document that is the subject of that motion,

including any document requested to be reviewed in camera; (iv) depositions

upon oral examination required by CR 30.06(1) to be delivered to the clerk by

the officer taking the deposition; and (v) depositions upon written questions

required by CR 31.02 to be filed by the officer taking the deposition.

Section 11. Redaction Requirements

(1) Compliance with CR 7.03.

(a) All eFilers must comply with the redaction requirements set out in CR

7.03, “Privacy protection for filings made with the court.” These

requirements apply to all documents, including attachments and

exhibits. The clerk will not review filings for compliance with this rule.

The responsibility to redact filings rests with the eFiler.

(b) The provisions of CR 7.03 apply to all eFiled documents regardless of

the case type.

(c) eFilers are cautioned, in accordance with CR 7.03(7), that failure to

redact information deemed private by CR 7.03 and/or the inclusion of

irrelevant personal information in a document, attachment, or exhibit

filed electronically with the court may subject the eFiler to the

disciplinary and remedial powers of the court, including sanctions

pursuant to CR 11.

(2) Improperly included private or protected information.

(a) A party may move to redact improperly included private or protected

information from an eFiled document and may request an immediate

order from the court temporarily deleting the document from the system

pending notice and opportunity to be heard by all parties.

(b) If the court finds that private or protected information was improperly

included in an eFiled document, the court may order the clerk to

permanently delete the document from the system and require the filing

party to file a redacted copy of the document.

(c) If, after hearing, the court does not find that private or protected

information was improperly included and the document has been

temporarily deleted from the system under paragraph (a), the filing party

is responsible for refiling the document electronically.

Section 12. Signatures

(1) Generally. A document electronically filed using the eFiling system must

bear the electronic signature of the filing party’s attorney or the filing party, if

self-represented, as more fully described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below. The

electronic signature of the filing party’s attorney or the filing party, if self-represented, will be treated as a personal signature and will serve as a

signature for purposes of CR 11, and all other Kentucky Rules of Procedure,

any applicable statutes, the Local Rules of Court, and any other purpose for

which a signature is required in connection with proceedings before the court.

(a) An electronically filed document must include a signature block

setting forth the name, mailing address, phone number, fax number, and

email address of the filing party’s attorney or the filing party, if self-represented.

(b) In addition, the name of the filing party’s attorney or the filing party, if

self-represented, must be preceded by an “/s/” and typed in the space

where the signature would otherwise appear. An electronic image of a

handwritten signature may be applied to a signature line. A handwritten

signature is required for any conventionally filed document.

(c) Affidavits and exhibits to pleadings with original handwritten

signatures must be scanned and filed in PDF or PDF/A format.

(d) An eFiler may not submit a document on another person’s behalf

without the intent to represent a party or participate in the case.

Electronically filing a document without the intent to represent a party or

participate in the case could result in CR 11 sanctions.

(2) Signatures of more than one party required. A document requiring

signatures of more than one party must be filed either by:

(a) representing the consent of the other parties on the document by

inserting in the location where each handwritten signature would

otherwise appear the typed signature of each person, other than the

filing party, preceded by an “/s/” and followed by the words “by

permission” (e.g., “/s/ Jane Doe by permission”); or by

(b) electronically filing a scanned document containing all necessary

signatures.

(3) Signatures of judges and other court officials. If the signature of a judge or

other court official (e.g., a court commissioner or clerk) is required on a

document, an electronic signature may be used. The electronic signature shall

be treated as the judge’s or court official’s personal signature for purposes of

CR 11, all other Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure any applicable statutes, the

Local Rules of Court, and any other purpose for which the signature is required

in connection with proceedings before the court.

(4) Documents required to be notarized, acknowledged, verified, or made under

oath. The signature on any document required to be notarized, acknowledged,

verified, or made under oath must be handwritten and scanned into the eFiling

system. The court will maintain the scanned document as the official court

record, and the filing party must retain the originally executed copy in

accordance with Section17, Retention Requirements. The court may require

the filing party to produce the original paper document if validity of the

signature is challenged.

(5) Challenging or disputing authenticity.

(a) A non-filing signatory or party who disputes the authenticity of an

electronically filed document with a non-attorney signature, or the

authenticity of the signature on that document; or the authenticity of an

electronically filed document containing multiple signatures, or the

authenticity of the signatures themselves, must file an objection to the

document within fourteen (14) days of service of the document. An

objection to the document shall place a burden on the non-moving party

to prove authenticity. Failure to prove authenticity by the non-moving

party will result in the filing being stricken from the record.

(b) If a party wishes to challenge the authenticity of an electronically

filed document or signature after the fourteen (14) day period, the party

shall file a motion to seek a ruling from the court and show cause for the

delayed challenge. If the challenge to authenticity is allowed by the

court, the non-moving party shall have the burden to prove authenticity.

Failure to prove authenticity by the non-moving party will result in the

filing being stricken from the record.

Section 13. Electronic Service of Documents

(1) Notice of Electronic Filing. Upon the electronic filing of a document, the

court’s eFiling system will automatically generate and send a Notice of

Electronic Filing (NEF) to all eFilers associated with that case, along with a

hyperlink to the electronic document. Transmission of the NEF with a

hyperlink to the electronic document constitutes service of the filed document

under CR 5. No other service on those parties is required.

(2) Parties must serve a paper copy of any eFiled document in the manner

required by CR 5 on a party or other person entitled to service who is not a

registered eFiler. It is the responsibility of the eFiler to review the list of parties

who will receive electronic service as indicated by the eFiling system and

determine which parties, if any, require conventional service.

(a) The Notice of Electronic Filing will only be sent to eFilers who have

associated themselves with the case, and will continue to be sent to them

until they have filed a proper withdrawal of appearance in a case and, if

applicable, obtained an order allowing the withdrawal.

(b) The NEF will include the date and time of filing in the time zone of the

receiving court, along with an electronic hyperlink to the document filed.

(c) If the eFiler received an NCP that indicates a document or filing was

returned by the clerk, he or she may correct any deficiencies and refile

the document.

(d) If the eFiler learns or has reason to know that the NEF was not

transmitted successfully to a party, electronic service is not effective.

The filer must serve the electronically filed document by traditional

methods pursuant to CR 5 immediately upon discovering that the notice

was deficient or that transmission was otherwise unsuccessful.

(3) Service of process. Electronic service of process is not permitted for

purposes of obtaining jurisdiction over persons or property, i.e., CR 4 service,

with the exception of the service of summons on a cross, counter, or third-party complaint where the defendant to such complaint has already eFiled in

the case and therefore consented to receive electronic service. All other service

of process must be effected in the traditional manner. The plaintiff or

petitioner need not present the summons to the clerk along with the initiating

document; the clerk will generate the summons and issue it as set out below in

paragraphs (a) and (b). The summons shall bear the date and time indicated

on the Notice of Electronic Filing, regardless of when the clerk processes the

filing and issues a Notification of Court Processing.

(a) Summonses will be issued as follows:

(i) For service by certified mail under CR 4.01(1)(a), the clerk will

issue the summons, and cause service of the summons and

complaint to be made via certified mail;

(ii) For service by the sheriff under CR 4.01(1)(b), the clerk will

issue the summons and cause the summons and complaint to be

transferred to the sheriff for service;

(iii) For service by a process server or other authorized person

under CR 4.01(1)(b), other than the sheriff, the summons will be

issued by the clerk and electronically returned to the initiating

party for service; or

(iv) At the request of the initiating party, in accordance with CR

4.01(1)(c), the clerk will issue the summons and electronically

return it to the initiating party for service.

(v) For service by warning order attorney under CRs 4.05, 4.06,

and 4.07, the party requesting the warning order attorney shall

upload a copy of the affidavit as provided by CR 4.06. Such

affidavits shall be filed as stand-alone documents and not included

within the body of an initiating document or pleading. The clerk

shall appoint a practicing attorney of the court to serve as warning

order attorney for the defendant pursuant to CR 4.07. The eFiling

system may assess a non-refundable deposit for the warning order

attorney, which may or may not constitute the entirety of his or

her legal fees under CR 4.07(6).

(vi) For service of process through the Secretary of State in

accordance with KRS 454.210, the clerk will issue the summons,

and cause two copies of the summons and two attested copies of

the initiating party’s complaint to be transferred to the Secretary of

State.

(b) The return of service must be imaged in a PDF or PDF/A format and

electronically filed by the party at whose request the summons was

issued and served if proof of service is returned to that party.

(4) Service of subpoenas. Subpoenas issued pursuant to CR 45 must be served

as provided in CR 45.03(1) and not by use of the eFiling system. Notices

required to be served on each party pursuant to CR 45.03(3) may be served

electronically by mutual consent consistent with CR 5.02, but not via the

court’s eFiling system. Proof of service pursuant to CR 45.03(1) and RCr 7.02

may be filed via the court’s eFiling system.

(5) Certificate of Service. A certificate of service must be included with all

documents filed electronically. A certificate of service must show parties who

received conventional service and parties who received electronic service.

(6) Additional time after electronic service. Service by electronic means under

this rule is treated the same as service by mail under CR 6.05 for the purpose

of adding three (3) days to the prescribed period.

Section 14. Entry of Orders and Notice of Entry

(1) Entry of orders. All orders, decrees, judgments, and any other documents

entered or issued by the court may be filed in accordance with these rules.

(a) Such filing will constitute entry by the clerk pursuant to CR 58 and

CR 79.

(b) An order containing the electronic signature of a judge will have the

same force and effect as if the judge had affixed a signature to a paper

copy of the order and the order had been entered in a conventional

manner.

(2) Notice of entry.

(a) Immediately upon the entry of an order or judgment in an action, the

clerk will transmit to eFilers in the case, in electronic form, a Notice of

Electronic Filing (NEF), styled as a Notice of Entry, with a hyperlink to

the electronic document. Electronic transmission of the NEF, along with

a hyperlink to the electronic document, constitutes service of the notice

in accordance with CR 77.04.

(b) The clerk must serve notice in paper form to an attorney or party who

is not a registered eFiler to the extent notice is required.

Section 15. Court Record

(1) The clerk will print documents which have been electronically filed and

maintain a paper file in each case. The paper file will constitute the official

court record.

(2) Conventionally filed or court generated documents may be scanned by the

clerk. The original documents will be maintained in the paper file.

(3) When the law requires the filing of an original document, such as a will,

voucher, bond, oath, mortgage document, birth certificate, foreign judgment, or

other certified or verified document, the eFiler must scan the original document

and file the scanned document in the eFiling system. The filer must either (i)

retain the original document in accordance with Section 17, Retention

Requirements; (ii) file the original with the appropriate agency or officer as may

be required by law; or (iii) submit conventionally to the court when necessary

for actions involving original documents.

(4) Electronic receipts may be generated for financial transactions. In the event

a receipt is generated, the court’s file copy shall be retained in electronic

format.

(5) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this Section, the Kentucky Supreme

Court may designate pilot counties where the electronic court record may be

designated as the official court record.

Section 16. Access to Electronic Record

(1) Authorized users may view eFiled documents, scanned images, and

electronic case entries through the CourtNet 2.0 application.

(2) Authorized users of CourtNet 2.0 may be assessed a subscription fee and

additional costs for accessing electronic images; however, registered eFilers are

permitted to electronically file and access images in an action at no cost.

(3) Certain categories of documents containing sensitive information may be

designated as protected images and may only be viewable to parties associated

with the case in CourtNet 2.0.

(4) Access to confidential cases in CourtNet 2.0 is available to persons entitled

by statute, except that non-government parties may be required to eFile into a

confidential case in order to access the entire record. Sealed cases are not

eligible for eFiling and are not viewable in CourtNet 2.0.

Section 17. Fees, Costs, and Payment Methods

(1) Fees, including but not limited to filing fees, bond fees, and judicial sale fees

are due and payable at the time of electronic filing unless the fee is waived by

order of the court, the fee is not due or payable, the filer submits an affidavit to

proceed in forma pauperis, or the court makes alternative arrangements with

the filer. Payments of filing fees and other court costs must be made by credit

card or electronic check through the KCOJ payment systems vendor.

(2) Other costs.

(a) Service of process. In actions where certified mail, sheriff service, and

Secretary of State service is requested, printing cost shall be $0.10 per

page.

(b) Transaction fees for electronic payments may be assessed by the

KCOJ payment systems vendor.

(3) All fees and costs listed in this section shall be taxed as costs in the action

pursuant to CR 54.04 and shall be recoverable by the prevailing party.

(4) The AOC’s centralized printing and mailing facility may be designated to

print and distribute documents.

(5) Electronic payments received through the eFiling system, including

payments made pursuant to RAP 2(H), are deemed to have been made at the

time the filing was submitted.

Section 17. Retention Requirements

(1) Original documents and documents containing original signatures.

An original document such as a will, voucher, bond, oath, mortgage document,

birth certificate, foreign judgment, or other certified or verified document which

has been scanned and filed in the eFiling system pursuant to Section 14(3),

and any document requiring or otherwise containing an original signature

which has been scanned and filed in the eFiling system must be maintained in

paper form by counsel and/or the firm representing the party on whose behalf

the document was filed until after all periods for appeals expires. Original

documents are not required to be retained if the signature is that of an

attorney or named party in the case who may personally verify and give proof

as to the authenticity of the signatures. Upon the request of the court or other

party, counsel must provide the original document for review or inspection.

(2) Discovery documents. Pursuant to CR 5.06, the party responsible for

service of a discovery document not filed of record, including interrogatories,

requests, and answers and responses thereto, notices, and subpoenas will be

the custodian and must retain the original document. The custodian must

provide access to all parties of record during the pendency of the action.

Section 18. Technical Difficulties; System Unavailability

(1) Jurisdictional deadlines. Some deadlines are jurisdictional and cannot be

extended. A technical failure, including a failure of the eFiling system, will not

excuse a failure to comply with a jurisdictional deadline. The eFiler must

ensure that a document is timely filed to comply with jurisdictional deadlines

and, where necessary to comply with such deadlines, the eFiler must file the

document conventionally accompanied by a certification of the necessity to do

so in order to meet a jurisdictional deadline.

(2) Technical failures.

(a) If an eFiler experiences a technical failure as defined herein, the

eFiler may file the document conventionally, provided that the document

is accompanied by a certification signed by the eFiler, that the eFiler has

attempted to file the document electronically at least twice, with those

unsuccessful attempts occurring at least one (1) hour apart. The clerk

may require the document to be accompanied by a disk or CD-Rom

which contains the document in PDF or PDF/A format.

(b) The initial point of contact for an eFiler experiencing technical

difficulty filing a document electronically will be the AOC’s eFiling help

line at the number(s) listed on the Court of Justice’s website. The help

line will be available during the AOC’s regular business hours, 8:00 a.m.

until 5:30 p.m., eastern time, Monday through Friday (excluding

holidays).

(c) An eFiler who suffers prejudice as a result of a technical failure as

defined herein or an eFiler who cannot file a time-sensitive document

electronically due to unforeseen technical difficulties, other than a

document filed under a jurisdictional deadline, may seek relief from the

court. Parties may also enter into an agreed order deeming a document,

other than one filed under a jurisdictional deadline, timely filed.

(3) Anticipated system maintenance and downtime. When the eFiling system

will not be available due to scheduled maintenance, eFilers will be notified and

a notice will be posted on the court’s website of the date, time, and anticipated

length of the unavailability.

(4) Unanticipated downtime. When the eFiling system is unexpectedly unable

to accept filings continuously or intermittently for more than one hour, eFilers

will be notified of the problem by email or by the posting of a notice of the

problem on the court’s website.

Section19. Technical Assistance

An eFiler experiencing technical difficulty filing a document electronically may

contact the AOC’s eFiling help line at the number(s) listed on the Court of

Justice’s website. The help line will be available during the AOC’s regular

business hours, 8:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., eastern time, Monday through

Friday.

This Order shall be effective upon entry, and until further Order.

Entered this 20th day of December 2022

All sitting; all concur.
