Florida Courts Technology Standards
Section IV
Clerk's Case Maintenance System Standards
4.1.1 | DOCUMENT RENDERING
4.1.2 | ELECTRONIC FILING ENVELOPE
The e-filing envelope shall be in .XML format and contain the data elements needed to support the filing, indexing, docketing, calendaring, accounting, reporting, document development, case management, case maintenance, and other necessary functions of the court. The Portal shall prompt the filer for all relevant information, identifying each data element as required or optional.
4.1.3 | CLERK’S TIME STAMP
The Portal’s official file stamp date and time shall be affixed in the upper left-hand corner in Eastern Time. The Florida Supreme Court and District Courts of Appeal stamps shall be on the left margin readable horizontally. Any administrative agency stamp shall be in the right margin and readable horizontally. The clerk’s stamp for circuit and county courts shall be at the bottom of the document.
4.1.4 | DOCUMENT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (DIN)
• The document identification number shall be stamped on each document and shall be displayed on each document/docket display screen in the local clerk CMS, the CAPS, and any other court record access systems.
• Each assigned DIN shall remain static for each case once assigned. If documents/dockets are inserted, then the sequence numbers will not necessarily align with the dates for the documents/docket. As long as they are unique within each case this is allowed.
• The DIN may be implemented on a “go-forward” basis if necessary; DINs are not required for historical documents/dockets.
• The DINs are only assigned and stored in the local clerk CMS. The DINs are not included in the interface between the Portal and the local clerk CMS and are not provided to the filer as part of the e-filing notification process, at this time.
• This requirement does not apply to legacy CMS applications that have a known end date.
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to examine this handbook in order to protect yourself from organizations/judges/lawyers who break the law (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.
Sincerely,
