Electronic Filing Problems
(A) Corrections
Once a document is submitted and becomes part of the case docket, corrections to the
docket are made only by the Clerk. The System will not permit the filing party to
make changes to the document or docket entry filed in error once the transaction has
been accepted. The filing party should not attempt to refile a document. As soon as
possible after an error is discovered, the filing party should contact the Clerk’s Office
with the case number and document number for which the correction is being
requested. If appropriate, the Court will make an entry indicating that the document
was filed in error. The filing party will be advised if the document needs to be refiled.
(B) Technical Problems
(1) Any difficulty connecting to the CM/ECF System and any other
technical failure experienced should be immediately reported to the Clerk.
(2) An e-filer whose filing is made untimely as a result of a technical failure may
seek appropriate relief from the Court.
(3) If the CM/ECF System is unable to accept filing continuously or
intermittently over the course of any period of time greater than one hour after
12:00 noon, filings due that day which could not be filed solely because of
such technical failure shall be due the next business day. Questions or
concerns about this extension should be directed to the Clerk.
(4) Answers to frequently asked questions regarding electronic filing are
available on the Court’s website.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
