It is vital that filers select appropriate filing events when filing documents and pleadings in CM/ECF to avoid case management delays.  Most events are written to execute “behind the scenes” functions such as setting or removing deadlines or case flags; satisfying response requirements; notifying the Courtroom Deputy of the need to schedule, reschedule, or cancel hearings; charging or not charging  fees; and many other possible functions.  Failure to select the correct filing event can result in complex issues that will necessitate case management delays and, possibly, phone calls made to your office by Clerk’s Office staff.
