RULE 6 ELECTRONIC FILING All parties filing documents electronically are referred to and shall also comply with all requirements and conditions for electronic filing (eFiling) and service as set forth in Code of Civil Procedure section 1010.6 and California Rules of Court, rules 2.250-2.261 and 3.110(f)(4), unless this court’s local rules provide otherwise. This rule shall apply to all eFiling regardless of the division and/or department, unless this court’s local rules provide otherwise. The filing of electronic documents must be affected using the court’s electronic service provider. 1. Case Types Subject to Electronic Filing: A. Effective January 1, 2020, San Joaquin County Superior Court allows the electronic filing of documents for specific case types as listed on the court’s website at www.sjcourts.org. Case types excluded from e-filing can also be located on the court’s website. B. Additional case types may be phased in over time. Please refer to the court’s website for current listings. 2. Documents Subject to and Excluded from Electronic Filing: A. Please refer to the court’s website for the current list of documents permitted to be filed electronically and excluded from electronic filing. If a document is not listed as accepted or excluded, contact the Clerk of the Court in the applicable division for clarification. B. Documents and other materials that are not feasibly converted to electronic form by scanning or imaging shall not be electronically filed. C. Additional documents may be phased in over time. Please refer to the court’s website for updates. 3. Format of eFiled Documents: A. All electronic filed documents must be in electronic text searchable PDF format. There is not a limit on the number of pages a document can contain, unless prohibited by another rule. B. Documents containing exhibits must be bookmarked. An electronic bookmark must be created for each exhibit, and between each exhibit a slip sheet must be inserted containing identification of the following exhibit. For example, a page where the words printed are “Exhibit A” or Exhibit B” or other appropriate identification. 4. Acceptance or Rejection of Filing: A. Documents electronically submitted to the court for filing may be reviewed by the clerk for certain data elements and/or completeness. Documents are not considered “filed” until they have been accepted by the reviewing clerk. B. If after review by the clerk, a document electronically submitted to the court is subsequently determined to be unacceptable for filing; a Notice of Rejection specifying the reason(s) will be generated and provided to the filer. After addressing the issues, it is the sole responsibility of the filer to resubmit the document(s) with payment electronically if they choose to, if the basis for rejection was not due to the document being on the exclusion list. 5. Confirmation of Submission: A. The confirmation of submission, subsequent resubmission of rejected documents with corrections and/or fees, as well as the filing of documents with the court electronically is the sole responsibility of the filer. In the absence of confirmation of receipt and filing, there is no presumption that the court received and filed the document. 6. Sealed Documents: A. A motion to file documents under seal may be filed electronically. However, documents lodged with the Court Conditionally Under Seal, as provided in CRC 2.551(d), shall be served and submitted to the Clerk of the Court in paper form, pending hearing on the motion to seal. B. Documents ordered filed under seal cannot be electronically filed and must be submitted directly to the Clerk of the Court in paper form, compliant with CRC 2.551(d), if not previously lodged under seal. 7. Confidential Documents: A. Except as provided in CRC 2.250-2.259 and 2.500-2.506, an electronically filed document is a public document at the time it is filed unless it is ordered sealed under CRC 2.551(b) or filed as a confidential document pursuant to law. (CRC 2.254(c)) B. The filer is responsible for redacting any personal identifiers, privileged or confidential information when applicable. The clerk will not review the documents for compliance. 8. Fees and Fee Waivers: A. Electronic Service Providers may charge a reasonable fee in addition to any filing fees required by the Court. There is no service fee charged if the document does not require a filing fee. The Court will not add an administrative fee for eFiling. Refer to the information under Payment on the court’s website for additional information. B. A party who has an active fee waiver on file in a case or is granted a fee waiver from the Court is exempt from the fees and costs associated with electronic filing. C. If a request for fee waiver is not granted, the filer will be notified and given the opportunity to submit payment. The filer will have 10 days to comply with the Order on Fee Waiver or the filing will be voided. (GC 68634(g)). (Eff. 01/01/20) 6-100. [6-100 Repealed 01/01/20] 6-101. [6-101 Repealed 01/01/20]
