Section 1-2809. FILING OF PAPERS
-
2809.1A “paper” means any pleading, motion, exhibit or witness list, or any other written submission filed with OAH.
2809.2Any paper filed at OAH must be legible and signed by a party or a party’s representative. A conformed signature, as defined in Section 2899, will only be accepted on a paper filed by email as authorized by Section 2841.
2809.3To file any paper at OAH, a person must bring, mail, fax, email, or have the paper delivered to the Clerk’s office during regular business hours from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on a business day. A paper is filed on the day the Clerk’s office receives it during business hours, except as provided in Subsection 2809.5 below. Any paper filed by email must comply with Section 2841.
2809.4The filing date of a fax transmission will be determined as follows:
(a)The filing date is the date on which the fax is received in the Clerk’s office between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. If a paper is received on a date or at a time when the Clerk’s office is not open, the paper shall be deemed to have been filed when the Clerk’s office is next open.
(b)A party filing a paper by fax is responsible for delay, disruption, interruption of electronic signals, and legibility of the paper, and accepts the risk that the paper may not be filed.
(c)Any incomplete or illegible fax will not be considered received unless a hard copy of the fax is filed or a complete and legible fax is received within three (3) calendar days of the first transmission. In a response to a motion, the Administrative Law Judge may extend this time.
