5008-1. Filing.

(a) A fax filing agency will file all fax transmitted papers on behalf of the parties or their counsel. No papers may be transmitted directly to the Clerk by facsimile for filing. Any papers so transmitted will be rejected and not filed.

(b) The fax filing agency acts as the agent of the filing party and not as agent of the Court. A paper is deemed filed when it is submitted by the fax filing agency, received in the Clerk's office, and filed by the Clerk. Mere transmission to or receipt by the fax filing agency is not a filing.

(c) The fax filing agency must meet all technical requirements under the Administrative Procedures.
