Rule 12 Correction of E-Filing Errors

Selecting Document Types. For each e-filed document, a filer must choose the best available document type from the options listed on the E-system. Correcting Document Types. The Clerk may reject documents that do not comply with these rules or procedures. The Clerk will return rejected documents to the registered filer for correction and may provide an explanation of the error and instructions for correcting the document. Minor Corrections. If the error is minor, the Clerk may, with or without notifying the parties, either correct or disregard the error.

Request for Correction by Registered Filer. A registered filer who discovers an error in the e-filing of a document shall promptly notify the Clerk of such error, the case number of the document that was e-filed in error, and a short statement of the relief requested. A registered filer shall move to correct the error or amend the document by the agreed upon deadline. A registered filer shall not attempt to refile a document that has been e-filed in error unless the Clerk specifically directs the registered filer to do so.
