  • Attorneys who register to receive electronic notification will not receive any notice by first-class U.S. mail. Attorneys who do not register to receive electronic notification will continue to receive notice by first-class U.S. mail only.
  • Each attorney, who is enrolled as counsel of record, who wishes to consent to receive eNotification only, must register separately.
  • The Court may issue orders through the creation of a docket entry and the issuance of notice thereof to the parties. Any order or document electronically issued by the court without the original signature of a judge or authorized court personnel has the same force and effect as if the judge or clerk had signed a paper copy of the order.
  • Upon the entry of an action, order, judgment, or decision in a matter, the clerk will electronically transmit to registered attorneys of record a Notice of Docket Entry or Decision that contains the Court's order, action, notice, or judgment.
  • Electronic notification of the Notice of Docket Entry or Decision constitutes the notice and service of the action, order, judgment, or decision required by Uniform Rules – Court of Appeal, Rule 2-20. The clerk shall provide notice in paper form by first-class U.S. mail only to attorneys of record who have not consented and registered for electronic notification.
  • To opt out of the eNotification Program, you must log in and edit your user profile to reflect that you no longer want to receive only electronic notice of events in your case.
