7. Filings with Writs

The court does NOT auto-accept filings with Writs. They place them in a special queue to be reviewed at a later time. If you have a time-sensitive filing, with additional documents OTHER THAN an Application for Writ of Garnishment and a Writ of Garnishment, you might want to consider two (2) separate filings—one with these two documents and another with all remaining documents.
