Linking to a Related Pleading

HIGHLIGHTS

When filing a document that refers to a previously filed document, the reference docket number must be selected so documents link properly, such as:

Proposed Order (refer/link to Motion or main document only)
Proof of Service (refer/link to everything that was sent to parties)
Objection (refer/link to Motion only)
Notice of Hearing (refer/link to Motion only)
Statement of Case (refer/link to Motion only)
Amended Schedules (refer/link to first schedules filed)
Corrective Entry (refer/link to incorrect entry only)

See Linking Reference Guide for more examples.

If you are unsure of a procedure, please call the Clerk's Help Desk for assistance.
