A. Upon receipt, the Court Clerk shall deliver by email written confirmation to the filing party of the date and time the email program recorded receipt of the filing. If the return email comes back as undeliverable, then the Court Clerk shall contact the filing party to provide a valid email address. If one is not provided, the electronic filing shall not be valid.

B. All parties are required to deliver applicable filing fees to the Court within five (5) business days of the date the Court Clerk confirms the electronic filing or in the morning prior to any hearing on the case, whichever is first.

C. Filings received after the Court’s scheduled business hours shall be deemed to have been received as of the next business day.

D. Late filings may be accepted by the Court on a case-by-case basis if the filing party can demonstrate that the late filing was caused by the email software or electronic transmission error.

E. Upon receipt of an electronic filing, the Court Clerk shall scan the electronic file for computer viruses or other malware using antivirus software. If a virus or other malware is detected, the filing must be rejected, and the Court Clerk shall immediately notify the party that the filing was rejected due to the presence of a virus or other malware.
