Documents - Filing

Redaction and Confidentiality

Documents that are confidential by operation of law (the e-filer must specify the applicable law). This includes in forma pauperis applications.

Some of this confidential information, which must be redacted or filed as confidential, includes:

Failure to redact sensitive information, or attempting to file a confidential document without following the appropriate procedures, could result in your filing being rejected or in other sanctions.

If you aren’t sure if a document should be confidential, call the court administrator for assistance. Redacted documents do not require confidential filing.

Rejected E-Filings

Service

  1. The party or case participant being served is a registered e-filer;
  2. The party or participant being served displays in the “E-Filing Service Recipients” section on the e-filing Service Information screen; and
  3. The e-filer selects “E-Filing Service” for that party or participant.

If a party is served electronically, no further action is required by the e-filer, and no proof of service is required. A party or participant who has created an E-Filing account has consented to be served electronically, and no additional consent or agreement is required.

“Email service” occurs when the filer serves a document by sending an email to the party or participant being served, with the document attached. “Email service” is a form of conventional service that is available when the party or participant being served is not a registered e-filer. Email service may only occur with the consent of the party or participant being served. Service by email requires the filer to file either an affidavit or certificate of service with the court administrator.

Once a party or participant is attached to the case by the court administrator, if the party or participant is not registered with E-Filing, they will appear in the list of “Conventional Service Recipients” on the Service Information screen. To serve a party or participant by email, the filer must select “Email” from the service option drop-down menu on the Service Information screen.
