Latest NY State Update: Efiling Commences for Non Essential Matters Chief Administrative Judge Lawrence Marks issued an Administrative Order implementing the memorandum which permits the filing of new non-essential matters through NYSCEF even in counties that have not yet reopened. Commencement of new matters are now allowed in all counties per order AO-114-20. The dates we can start e-filing range from May 18th to May 26th in courts, and case types approved for electronic fi...ling. Represented parties must commence new matters, or proceed in pending matters, exclusively by electronic filing through NYSCEF. This memorandum does not address the Lower Courts. It is important to note: The Governor has not eased the restrictions on commerce imposed due to the COVID-19 health emergency in all regions. However, this does to a large extent bring the Legal System in NY to a point where new cases can be brought to court. http://ow.ly/u4G250zO3LT
