Miss. App. e-filing Admin. P. 5

As amended through March 21, 2024
Section 5 - Technical Failures
A. The Court's System

The Clerk's Office shall deem the public website for the appellate e-filing system to be subject to a technical failure on a given day if the site is unable to accept filings continuously or intermittently over the course of any period of time greater than one hour after 12:00 noon that day, in which case filings due that day which were not filed due solely to such technical failures shall become due the next business day.

When unable to file a document in a timely manner due to a failure of the appellate e-filing system, a document may be filed conventionally, and the filer shall explain the conventional filing by attaching a Declaration of Technical Difficulties.

B. The Attorney's System

If the attorney is unable to file a document in a timely manner due to technical difficulties in the user's system (e.g., phone line problems, problems with the filer's Internet Service Provider (ISP), or hardware or software problems), the attorney should file the document conventionally and notify the Court of the inability to electronically file. Such notification may be made by attaching a Declaration of Technical Difficulties, wherein he or she explains the inability to file electronically.
