The Court also notes that there is a lag time between the e-filing of a document, and its appearance in the system the Court accesses to review case files. The Court does not receive any notification when a document has been filed in the e-filing system. Thus, documents filed within 3-5 days of a hearing might not appear in the court file review system in time and the Judge may not be aware that the document has been filed - with the result that the Judge is unable to review the filings before a hearing. Courtesy copies are the fastest way to ensure that documents filed in this time window are actually received and considered in a timely manner.
Summary: Because of a lag between e-filing and appearance in the court's review system, documents filed within 3-5 days of a hearing may not be reviewed before the hearing, so courtesy copies are the fastest way to ensure timely consideration.
