Rule 3-7 Time of Filing and Service
Article 3. Filing, Processing, and Service
Rule Text
(a) Time Zone. A party shall file all motions, briefs, or other documents required to be filed before midnight Eastern Time to be considered timely filed on that day, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties or ordered by the Court. The foregoing shall also apply to service of all other documents required to be exchanged, but not filed, during litigation (e.g., discovery responses), unless otherwise agreed to by the parties or ordered by the Court.
(b) Time of Filing. An electronic document is presumed filed upon its receipt by the Court's electronic filing system, which shall automatically confirm the fact, date, and time of receipt to the filer. Absent evidence of such confirmation, there is no presumption of filing.
