The user log-in and password required to submit documents to the Electronic Filing System is the
User’s signature for all purposes. Documents requiring signatures of more than one party must be
electronically filed either by: (1) submitting a scanned document containing all necessary signatures;
(2) indicating the consent of the parties who did not electronically file the document. Consent may
be indicated by the filer by including an "s/ and the name of the consenting attorney(s)" on the
document to be filed electronically (e.g. “s/John Doe,” “s/Jane Smith,” etc.). By using “s/ and
another attorney’s name” the filing attorney certifies that each of the other signatories has expressly
agreed to the form and substance of the document and that the filing attorney has their actual
authority to submit the document electronically. The filing attorney must retain any records
evidencing this concurrence for future production, if necessary, until 1 year from the expiration of
all time periods for appeals. A non-filing signatory or party who disputes the authenticity of an
electronically filed document containing multiple signatures or the authenticity of the signatures
themselves must file an objection to the filing of the document within 14 days from service of the
document.
