What is the proper format for entering the Case Number?
The Clerk is required to reject filings with an incorrect File Number. So, our system does some preliminary validating and will not allow you to proceed until you have entered a few of the basics correctly. But, here are the guidelines: • The first three characters are the division designation (at this time only PRC, MHC) • The second two characters are the year designation (2009 is shown as 09) • The last 7 characters are the numerical sequence of the case (case numbers contain four digits only so you will need to add three leading zeros to your case number.
