M.R. Prob. P. 92.5

(a) Logging into system. A Registered Filer may initiate a new civil action

or probate proceeding, or file documents in a civil action or probate proceeding

that is in the electronic filing system, when required or permitted under Rule

92.3, by logging in on the electronic filing system website with a user name and

password obtained as provided in Rule 92.4.

(b) Transmitting documents. Each filing will be initiated by completing

the “new case” or “existing case” pages on the electronic filing system website by

attaching documents required or permitted to be filed that have been prepared,

formatted, and signed as provided in Rules 92.7 and 92.8.

(c) Time of filing. An electronic filing may be submitted on any day,

including holidays and weekends, and at any time. A filing is considered

submitted on a date if it is submitted prior to midnight on that date. Failure of

the filer’s system will not excuse a failure to comply with a filing deadline unless

the court exercises its discretion to extend the deadline.

(d) Acknowledgment or rejection of filing. The electronic filing system

will automatically acknowledge receipt of any filing, but it will automatically

reject any filing that does not comply with the requirements of Rule 92.7(a). A

filer may resubmit a rejected filing at any time after addressing the reasons for

rejection, but the date and time of filing for all purposes under the applicable

rules of procedure are the date and time that the filing is resubmitted.

(e) Review by court staff. A filing that has not been automatically

rejected will be reviewed by court staff for compliance, and court staff will then

electronically notify the filer either that the filing has been accepted or that it

cannot be accepted until specified actions required under those rules have been

taken. A filer may submit a corrected filing within seven calendar days after

receiving the notification. Failure to submit a corrected filing on a timely basis

shall constitute a rejected filing. Court staff will accept a corrected filing if all

requirements of those rules have been met. When an original or corrected filing

has been accepted, or when a court-generated document is filed, the date and

time of filing for all purposes under the applicable rules of procedure are the

date and time that the original filing was submitted. Court staff will provide a

docket number for a new filing that has been accepted in the acceptance

notification. The assigned docket number must appear on all subsequent filings

pertaining to the case.

(f) Notice of filing. The filer must serve notice of the filing and a copy of

an electronically filed document as provided in Rule 92.11 on all parties or

persons upon whom service is required by the applicable rules of procedure.

(g) Calculation of deadlines. Deadlines for responding to electronic

filings shall be calculated from the date of acceptance by the court staff.
