Can an attorney file a document ex parte?

Type: 
CM/ECF (Electronic Case Filing)
Answer: 

Attorneys have access to three ex parte events including

  • Attorney Time Records - Sealed Portion (Ex Parte);
  • Motion for 5K1 Relief (Ex Parte);and
  • Motion for Rule 35 Relief (Ex Parte).

In regard to attorney time records, electronic service will be made through the use of the "Attorney Time Records (Public Notice)" companion event. However, use of the referenced criminal motions will require the filing attorney to manually serve a copy of the motion on counsel for the applicable defendant.
