Case Management Electronic Court Filing [CMECF]

Procedures currently used by Judge Markovitz's chambers for the calendaring of matters before the court remain the same.

Documents are to be filed electronically with the Clerk's Office and scheduling Orders will be issued from chambers which outline the specific procedures to be utilized.

As CMECF is streamlined, any change in procedure will be posted as it is implemented.
