CHAPTER 18 ELECTRONIC FILINGS AND SERVICE RULE 1800 ELECTRONIC FILING E-filing requirements shall be governed in accordance with Code of Civil Procedure section 1010.6, California Rules of Court, rules 2.250 et seq., applicable Local Rules, and any policies, orders, and requirements adopted by the Court and posted on the Court website. (Eff. August 15, 2023.) RULE 1810 ELECTRONIC FILING PARTICIPATION A. Permissive Electronic Filing The Court permits electronic filing for specified case types as posted on the Court’s website (www.sb-court.org/efiling). B. Mandatory Electronic Filing and Service. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1010.6, and California Rules of Court, rules 2.251 and 2.253, the Court adopts mandatory electronic filing and service in Designated Cases. Designated Cases shall be as set forth in the Court’s General Order regarding mandatory electronic filing and service, which shall be posted on the Court’s website (www.sb-court.org/efiling). A party may seek a court-ordered exemption from mandatory electronic filing and service due to undue hardship, significant prejudice, or other good cause. Self-represented parties are exempt from mandatory electronic filing and service requirements but are encouraged to participate in electronic filing and service. (Eff. August 15, 2023. Amended, eff. July 1, 2024.) RULE 1820 FAX FILINGS (FACSIMILE TRANSFER TO COURT) The Court may receive a facsimile transmission into a computer file, rather than receiving such a transfer onto paper. For purposes of these rules, however, such a document shall not be considered an electronically filed document, but rather, shall be governed by the rules of court governing Fax Filings. (Former Rule 1830, eff. January 1, 2000. Renumbered as Rule 1820 and amended, eff. January 1, 2012. As amended, eff. January 1, 2018.) RULE 1830 DATE/TIME OF ELECTRONIC FILING Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1010.6(e)(3), any document received electronically by the Court between 12:00 a.m. and 11:59:59 p.m. on a court day shall be deemed filed on that court day if accepted for filing. Any document received electronically on a non-court day is deemed to have been filed on the next court day if accepted for filing. This Local Rule concerns only the method and effective date of filing; any document that is electronically filed must satisfy all other legal filing deadlines and requirements. Pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 2.252(c), this Local Rule does not alter any filing deadline. (Eff. August 15, 2023.) RULE 1840 RECEIPT OF ELECTRONICALLY SUBMITTED DATA The electronic filing of documents must be effected through an approved electronic filing service provider. Electronic filing service provider information is available on the Court’s website at https://sanbernardino.courts.ca.gov. For purposes of Local Rule 1830, a document is “received electronically” at the date and time a confirmation of the Court’s receipt of the electronic transmission is created. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 2.259(a)(1).) Absent this confirmation, there is no presumption that the document was received electronically by the Court. The electronic filer is responsible for verifying the Court received any document electronically submitted. (Eff. August 15, 2023.) RULE 1850 ERRORS OR MALFUNCTION IN ELECTRONIC FILING Pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 2.259(c), if a technical problem with the Court's electronic filing system prevents the Court from accepting an electronic filing on a particular court day, the Court shall deem the document as filed on that day if the electronic filer demonstrates that he or she attempted to electronically file the document on that day. For purposes of determining the court day that the document will be deemed filed, the times set forth in Local Rule 1830 apply. This Local Rule does not apply to the filing of a complaint or any other initial pleading in an action or proceeding. (Eff. August 15, 2023.) RULE 1860 ELECTRONIC FILING SYSTEM INQUIRIES Inquiries, disputes, or complaints regarding any aspect of the Electronic Filing System may be directed to: Court Executive Office, 247 West Third Street, Eleventh Floor, San Bernardino, CA 92415. (Eff. January 1, 2000. Amended, January 1, 2008, and July 1, 2014.)

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-07 (California T4 San Bernardino build 2026-10-07) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-san-bernardino/docs/local-rules/rulesofcourt.pdf (1185461 bytes, sha256 d6522f541ac18b5d604318763e09eff2cb8c22c4442a284858e16d3a7bf12d97; 130 pages; this chapter is pages 82 to 83) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow). The book is a redline (“All new content has been underlined. Content to be deleted is stricken through”): the struck-through text is not in force and was taken out as chrome, the underlined text kept; the running header (Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino), the page numbers and Word's hidden bookmark labels removed as chrome; the front matter, subject index and local forms lists belong to no chapter card; lines reflowed into the court's paragraphs, each rule heading on its own line; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. Review note: Rule 1820 provides that a facsimile transmission received into a computer file is governed by the rules governing fax filings; Rule 320 (Fax Filing) was repealed effective January 1, 2025. A review task asks whether the court still receives fax transmissions.
