JCRNLV 47

(a) The judge to whom a case is assigned may order all parties to file and serve all documents using an E-Filing System, when such a system has been implemented by the court. Cases may be placed in the E-Filing System at any time after obtaining a case number and the initial filing of the action. The judge to whom the case is assigned also has the discretion of mandating that any particular case be taken out of the E-Filing System at any time.

(b) The court may electronically file any notice, order, minute order, judgment, or other document prepared by the court.

(c) A document that the court or a party files electronically under these rules has the same legal effect as a document filed in paper form.

(d) Filing a document electronically does not alter any filing deadline. When filings are accepted, the electronic file stamp will reflect the current date of filing acceptance. Even if this falls outside the parameter of the filing deadline, the court honors the filing submission date.

(e) When it is not feasible for a party to convert a document to electronic form by scanning, imaging, or other means, the court may allow a party to file the document in paper form.

(f) It shall be the responsibility of the participating parties to serve, pursuant to the Justice Court Rules of Civil Procedure, proper person litigants who cannot register in the E-Filing System.

(g) As used in this section:

(1) “E-Filing System” means the system approved by the North Las Vegas Justice Court for filing and service of pleadings, motions, and other documents via the Internet through the court-authorized service provider, when it becomes available; and

(2) “E-filing” means an electronic transmission of documents to and from the clerk of the court.
