Replace a Document
Upon reviewing your submitted filing bundle, the clerk may require that you replace a document in the bundle. Returning a document allows the clerk to obtain the correct and appropriate document instead of rejecting the entire filing bundle. The clerk will send a separate Returned notification for each document that must be replaced.
The clerk may include a comment or details on the required filing document when the document is returned through TrueFiling.
Select History
under Main Pages in the navigation pane.
In some
court systems, a connection must grant you permission to view their filing
history. If a connection hasn't granted you this permission, that connection's
filing bundles are not listed.
