How are electronic glitches such as the courts computer or the filers computer being down handled?
As long as you have not waited until the last minute to file the document, a paper pleading, or a pleading on diskette could be delivered to the court together with a Motion for Permission that explained why the document could not be filed electronically. Even after-hours delivery can be arranged through the Clerk of Court. Whether to allow a late filing under any circumstances (whether computer related or not) is a decision that the judges would make on a case-by-case basis.
