As amended through January 31, 2024
Rule 15.10 - Form of documents electronically filed
(a) Each e-filed document shall be submitted in a file format that is acceptable to the e-filing and service provider. To the extent practicable, each e-filed document shall be formatted in accordance with Trial Court Rule 6.01 governing formatting of paper documents. A document may exceed page limitation rules to a maximum of two additional pages when the additional pages are attributed to the electronic conversion or filing process. The e-filing and service system shall automatically convert all document formats accepted by the e-filing and service provider to a PDF format.
(b) All e-filed documents relating to a single pleading or document submitted in the same electronic transaction shall be "electronically stapled" using the "main" and 'supporting" functionality of the e-filing and service system so multiple related documents, such as a motion and proposed order, are linked logically together and identified as a single transaction.
(c) All e-filed documents or pleadings directly relating to a previously e-filed document, or pleading shall be linked to the previously e-filed document or pleading, using the "linked document feature" in the e-filing and service system.
(d) Proposed orders filed for the consideration of the Presiding Judge shall be filed in a Rich Text Format document or ".rtf."
(e) A document that is required to be executed by the parties or counsel, verified, acknowledged or made under oath shall be e-filed only as a scanned image. Any such document that is to be attached to an e-filed document shall be scanned and e-filed and served along with the underlying document.
