When prompted to attach a document during the filing process, click on the “browse” button and locate the folder on your computer system where the PDF document you want to attach has been saved. Then select the name of the document or pleading to be e-filed and double click on the image file or click “open.” The file path to the document appears in the box that says “file name.” If you do not have any additional attachments to the main document click on the “Next” button.
If you have additional documents to attach to the main document, click "Yes" next to the radio button that states, “Attachments to Document.” Select the “Browse” button to search for the file name of the document to be attached.
In the field for category type, select the dropdown arrow and a list of options will be displayed. Select the type of attachment (e.g., appendix, exhibit, etc.). If none of the selections apply, do not select anything in the dropdown menu.
You must enter a description for the attachment in the description box. Click the “Add to List” button so the description will appear in the docket text and when looking at the separate attachments. This enables the Court and counsel to know exactly what the attachment is (i.e., Motion for Summary Judgment pages 25-50, Exhibits 2-10, etc.). If the description is not there, only “(Attachments:) 1, 2, 3, 4,” etc. will display on the docket entry and in the attachment list.
The system will add the selected document as an attachment to the document. The file name of each new attachment will appear in the window next to the “Add to List” button. Once all attachments have been added to the attachment window, select the “next” button to proceed to the next screen.
