Filing on an Existing Case
If a case already exists in the court's system and you need to file additional documents — such as a motion, a response, or supplemental exhibits — use File on Existing Case.
Step 1: Search for the Case
You can search for the case using two methods:
By Case Number, Title, or Party Name
Enter any of the following in the search box:
- The case number (e.g., "2025-CV-01234")
- The case title (e.g., "Smith v. Jones")
- A party name (e.g., "Smith")
By Attorney Bar Roll Number
Switch to the Attorney Bar Roll Number tab and enter the bar roll number to find cases associated with a specific attorney.

Step 2: Select the Case
Search results appear in a table showing:
- Case Number
- Title
- Court
- Case Type
- Filed Date
- Parties
Click Select on the case you want to file into.
Don't see your case? Double-check the case number or try searching by a party name. If the case was recently created, it may take a short time to appear. Contact the clerk's office if you continue to have trouble.
Step 3: Complete the Filing
Once you select a case, the filing wizard opens starting at the Documents step (Step 3). The court and case information is already filled in from the existing case record.
From here, the process is the same as filing a new case:
- Upload Documents — attach your PDFs, set titles, types, and mark the lead document
- Review Fees — confirm the applicable filing fees
- Review & Submit — verify everything and submit
The selected case is shown at the top of the wizard. If you selected the wrong case, click Change Case to go back and search again.
Note: When filing on an existing case, you do not need to re-enter parties. The parties are already part of the court record.
