Why do I have to use a specific case number format for eFiling?
Please note that the Judiciary and Clerk require a certain case number format. You will not be able to file your document if the correct format is not used on the Service Provider’s website and the Clerk is required to reject your document if the correct format is not used on the pleading you are electronically filing pursuant to Administrative Order IV-07-B-3 section 4.3(d). The new format is as follows: The first three characters are the division designation (at this time only MHC and PRC); the second two characters are the year designation; and the last 7 characters are the numerical sequence of the case. For example, case number MHC 07-00123 would now be entered as MHC070000123.
