The portal may include initial civil unlimited complaints that have been submitted for filing but not yet fully reviewed or processed by the Court. Filings displayed through this portal are pending and may ultimately be rejected, modified, or require correction for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to noncompliance with filing requirements, payment issues, or jurisdictional defects. Access through this portal is limited to initial civil unlimited complaints and is available for five (5) calendar days from the date of submission. The portal does not include subsequent filings, confidential or sealed records, or cases restricted by law or court order.
