E-file
User Alert
Filings which include multiple lead documents per
selected event are negatively affecting the court record and are making
it very difficult for Judicial Officers and Court staff to quickly find
and efficiently locate selected lead documents in the electronic record.
Filers are being contacted in order to remedy this issue as soon as possible.
The Courts cannot resolve this filing issue alone and are asking for your
help to avoid delays in processing your e-filed documents. Please
review and follow the proper e-filing procedure found here
and contact either Court with questions. Thank you.
RCBA
