Create Serve Only

If you wish to have a document(s) served via Email, Certified Mail, or First Class Mail to any person but not file the documents in the court, Create Serve Only is the option to use. When filers click the Submit button, the application sends the document(s) to the selected contacts only. The documents are NOT filed with the court.

Create Serve Only

From the Dashboard, click Create Serve Only

1. Select Case – Choose your case, or click add a case to retrieve your case from the court’s system.

You now have the choice to create a serve only filing to electronically serve parties in an existing court case or one not associated with a case.

Serve Only – Existing Court Case

If you select the option Serve Only – Existing Court Case, you may create a serve only filing for any case available in the e-filing system. If you do not see your case in the menu, click the Add a Case link. You may need to do an advanced case search by Party Name if it doesn’t come up on the first try.

Serve Only – Not Associated with a Case

If you wish to serve documents to a party where a case number does not exist (or for a case that is not available in the e-filing system), you may select Serve Only – Not Associated with a Case to send a party or parties documents via email. You will then have the choice to select an existing Service List of parties or add a Service List to create a new list of parties to be electronically served.
