SERVICE AND FILING OF PAPERS
(a) Service: When Required. Written motions other than those that
are heard ex parte, written notices, designations of the record on appeal, and
similar papers shall be served upon each of the parties.
(b) Service: How Made. Whenever under these Rules or by an order of
the court service is required or permitted to be made upon a party represented
by an attorney, the service shall be made upon the attorney unless service upon
the party is ordered by the court. Service upon the attorney or upon a party
shall be made in the manner provided in civil actions.
(c) Notice of Orders. Immediately upon entry of an order made on a
written motion subsequent to arraignment the clerk of the Unified Criminal
Docket shall mail or deliver to each party a notice thereof and shall make a note
in the docket of the mailing or delivery.
(d) Filing. Except as provided in Rule 12(b)(3)(A), papers required to
be served shall be filed with the court. Papers shall be filed in the manner
provided in civil actions. All court notices in a case will be sent to the attorney
for the State who has been designated by the District Attorney or Attorney
General to receive notices from a court. Changes in designations of attorneys
to receive notice must be filed with the Office of Information Technology. If
an attorney for the State other than the designee has entered his or her
appearance and wishes to receive notice, that attorney must make
arrangements with the court by filing an appropriate request in the case for
notice. The request must include the attorney’s Maine Bar Registration
Number.
(e) Form of Papers. All papers filed with the court may be typewritten,
printed or otherwise duplicated upon opaque, unglazed paper 8-1/2 X 11
inches in size. The typed or printed matter must be double spaced except for
quotations, head notes and footnotes and must be legible. All typed or printed
matter must appear in at least 12-point type, except that footnotes and
quotations may appear in 11-point type. Only one side of the paper may be
used. Each paper shall contain a caption setting forth the name of the court,
the county or location in which the action is pending, the docket number, the
title of the case, and a brief descriptive title of the paper.
(f) Condensed Transcripts. All transcripts of trial court
proceedings held in the District Court or the Superior Court shall be reproduced
in accordance with M.R. Civ. P. 5(i)(2).
