Rule 5-I Proof of Service
TITLE II. COMMENCING AN ACTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS, PLEADINGS,
Rule Text
(a) IN GENERAL. Except as provided in Rule 5-I(b) or as otherwise provided by statute, proof of service for filings served under Rule 5 must be filed before any other action is taken on that filing. The proof must show the date and manner of service on the parties and delivery to the judge, and may be made by:
(1) written acknowledgment;
(2) affidavit of the person making service or delivery;
(3) certificate of a member of the Bar of this court; or
(4) other proof satisfactory to the court.
(b) ELECTRONICALLY-FILED PAPER. No proof of service is required when a paper is served using the court’s electronic-filing system.
(c) FAILURE TO MAKE PROOF; AMENDING PROOF. Failure to make proof will not affect the validity of service. The court may at any time allow the proof to be amended or supplied, unless to do so would result in material prejudice to a party.
