(A) Corrections
Once a document is submitted and becomes part of the case docket, corrections to
the docket are made only by the Clerk’s Office. 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.
