Tutorial
Uploading a Document
Select “Upload Documents” from the “User’s Area” at the menu at top of the page or click on the “Upload Documents” briefcase icon at the bottom of the home page.
- Fill out the form in the spaces provided. Be sure to read the individual instructions under the different sections of the form.
- When you reach Number 11 on the form, simply hit the “Browse” button to find the document on your computer. Once the document has been located, highlight the title of the document and select “Open.” You will be returned to the upload form and the file name for your document will be inserted in the space provided.
- List any “Special Instructions” you may have, i.e., “Proof of Service / Exhibits to follow” or “Exhibits to follow by Fax / Mail.” If you have no Special Instructions, please leave this section blank.
- Check to be sure that your email address is correct, and click “Submit” ONLY ONCE to send your document. Depending on the size of the file and the speed of your internet connection, it may take a minute or two to reach the confirmation page. Please be patient. Once you get to the confirmation page the file has been sent.
Note: Documents must be submitted one at a time. If you are sending multiple documents, you may hit the “Back” button on your browser after the confirmation page to return to the upload form which will remain filled out. Change the pertinent information, and click “Submit.”
Exhibits and Proofs of Service may be sent separately. If you have documents that should be served together or that need to be attached, simply let us know what is to come next under “Special Instructions” on the upload form.
The email address given on the upload form is for the upload confirmation ONLY. Final service of documents will be sent to the email addresses that are included in our automatic email notification system. If you wish to be added to the final email list, please select the “Email Change Form” from the “User’s Area” menu at the top of the page. You will then receive ALL document postings for your case.
Documents should have unique and individual titles. If you receive the message “Document Name Already Exists,” that means that a document on our server already contains that file name. Please go to where you have the document saved on your computer, “Right Click,” and select “Rename.” It can be as simple as adding a 1, 2, 3, or A, B, C, to the end of the file name. However, please try to avoid using generic titles for your documents such as “Notice” or “POS.” Adding a brief caption description or date to your file name will help to keep your documents distinct and will help ensure that your document is posted correctly and in a timely fashion. When you have re-named your document, return to the upload form and browse for the newly named document.
Documents are titled by CaseHomePage using the information on the Caption Page, and checked against the Upload Form. If you make a mistake on the form, but your document is accurate, you need not re-send it. If we have a question regarding a document we will call or email you immediately.
If you need to retract a document which has been sent to us, and not yet served, simply email or call us and we will delete the incorrect version. If you need to replace a document which has already been served, send the new document and let us know which document needs to be replaced under “Special Instructions.” Please include the title of the document and the date that it was originally sent. We will replace the old document and a new email will go out to counsel letting people know that a “New Version” has been posted.
If you need to have a document removed from the website, please call or email us, and we will remove the document for you. You will also need to post a “Bulletin” letting counsel know that the document has been deleted from the website. To learn how to post a bulletin, select “Adding a Bulletin” from the “Tutorial” menu at the top of the page.
