Rule 10 - Timing and Timeliness of Filings: Effect of Technical Failure(a) Under these rules, a "technical failure" is deemed to have occurred when the electronic filing system cannot receive electronic submissions continuously or intermittently over the course of any period of time greater than one hour after 12:30 p.m. on a given day, excepting such periods resulting from scheduled system maintenance for which public notice was provided. A filer shall immediately report a technical failure by calling the clerk's office at 603-229-3759.(b) A filer who encounters a technical failure may conventionally submit the document for filing, provided that the document is accompanied by a motion for relief from technical failure that attests to the filer's unsuccessful attempts to timely submit the document through the electronic filing system.(c) If a filer misses a filing due date as a result of a technical failure, the filer may electronically or conventionally submit the document for filing on the first day on which the clerk's office is open for business following the missed due date. The document shall be accompanied by a motion for relief from technical failure that attests to the filer's unsuccessful attempts to timely submit the document through the electronic filing system. If the motion is granted, the document shall be deemed to have been submitted on the day that the technical failure prevented the filer's submission.(d) A technical problem with the filer's computer or systems, including but not limited to a telephone line problem, a problem with the filer's internet service, or a problem with the filer's hardware or software, does not constitute a "technical failure" under these rules and will not excuse an untimely filing, unless the court orders otherwise. In such a circumstance, the filer may submit the document conventionally, along with a motion explaining how the filer's technical problem prevented an electronic submission of the document through the electronic filing system.Adopted March 29, 2018, effective 3/29/2018.
