AZ-D — Filing & Service

D. Ariz. — AZ-D requires CM/ECF filing of all civil documents.

AZ-D requires CM/ECF filing of all civil documents. Sealed filings require a court order before the document is filed under seal. Surety bonds use Arizona state court form rather than federal default form.

Mechanics

  • CM/ECF filing: Mandatory.
  • Sealing (LRCiv 5.6): *'No document may be filed under seal in an unsealed [matter]'* without an order. Procedure: lodge the document; obtain order; file.
  • Surety bonds (LRCiv 65.1.1): In the form provided for similar surety in Arizona state courts.
