Don't Have an Attorney

If you are filing a bankruptcy petition to delay or stop a foreclosure proceeding or for some other emergency purpose, the eSR filing process is not the best option for you. The clerk’s office will delay the official filing of your case until the court receives the additional required documents necessary to complete your filing.

 ***ADVERTENCIA***
i está presentando una petición de bancarrota para retrasar o detener un embargo hipotecario o por algún otro motivo de emergencia, el proceso de presentación eSR no es la mejor opción para usted. La oficina del secretario retrasará la presentación oficial de su caso hasta que el tribunal reciba los documentos adicionales necesarios para completar su solicitud.

Official Time of Filing

The official time of filing is when a document is entered and docketed in CM/ECF,  regardless of the filing method (in person, electronically through CM/ECF, or through eSR).
