Are there procedures relating to electronic filing?
The Final Procedures Implementing Electronic Case Filing are located on the Orange County Clerk of Courts web page. When a user files a document with the Clerks Office, does ECF automatically serve the other parties or does the user have to do something extra to serve the others? Do the other parties just get notification of a filing or do they get the actual document? When a document is filed in ECF, a Notice of Electronic Filing [NEF] is automatically generated and emailed to the registered parties in the case. The NEF includes the title of the document filed, the date, time, filing party and also includes a list of the case participants that will be electronically notified and the case participants that will be notified by paper. In the NEF there is also a link to the OCCC web site ECF login page where they will be able to log in and access the case file and the documents filed.
