The Supreme Civil Courts of Allegany and Orleans Counties are open
for the sending of documents via EDDS - as NYSCEF is not yet available in these courts.
In the remaining 60 Supreme Civil Courts, which all have active NYSCEF programs, there are only 2
document types available to be sent via EDDS *. These two documents,
Stipulation and Consent to E-Filing Form (EF-10) and
Letter Application to Convert Pending Action to Electronic Filing (EF-28),
relate to parties that may be seeking to convert a paper matter to E-filing pursuant to
NYSECEF Rule §202.5-b(b)(2)(iv).
* EXCEPTION: When filing a Stipulation and Consent in
Bronx and Queens counties, you should do so via
NYSCEF.
For all other counties, follow the process below:
How to Convert a paper matter to E-filing pursuant to 202.5-b(b)(2)(iv)
The
Letter Application to Convert Pending Action to Electronic Filing, (EF-28), is a simple no fee application/form,
which a party can submit to the court requesting the court order the conversion pursuant to 202.5-b(b)(2)(iv).
Once the application/form is completed, it must be served on all parties by mail and may be sent to the court via EDDS
together with proof of service. If the court approves the application, the Court will notify the County Clerk to
convert the matter, and the County Clerk will notify the party/applicant once the conversion process is completed.
Thereafter, the party/applicant must serve all other parties with a
Notice of Conversion to Electronic Filing -
(EF-28a) - advising them of the available filing and service options - and must then e-file proof of service of this
notice in the newly converted matter. (If the court does not approve the application, the Clerk will notify the
party/applicant).
NOTE: Documents cannot be e-filed until the party/applicant is notified by the County Clerk that the matter
has been converted.
