Rule 3-16 Procedures for Handling Misfiled, Deficient, or Defective E-Filings
Article 3. Filing, Processing, and Service
Rule Text
Upon physical acceptance and review of an e-filing, and discovery that it was misfiled or is otherwise deficient or defective, the Clerk shall as soon as practicable provide the e-filer notice of the deficiency or defect and an opportunity to cure or, if appropriate, reject the filing altogether. In any case, the Clerk shall retain a record of the action taken by the Court in response, including the date, time, and reason. Such records shall be maintained until a case is finally concluded, including the exhaustion of all appeals. Absent a Court order to the contrary, such records shall be accessible to the parties and the public upon request without the necessity for a subpoena.
