Idaho Supreme Court extended Nov. 12 e-filing deadlines by a day after software outage
Documents due Thursday counted as on time if filed by 5 p.m. Friday, an order said.
IDAHO FALLS - Anyone with court papers due Thursday in an Idaho state court had until 5 p.m. Friday to file them electronically, according to a Nov. 12 news release from the Idaho Judicial Branch. The extension applied statewide, including courts in Bonneville, Jefferson, Madison and Fremont counties.
The Idaho Supreme Court ordered the extension after a third-party software outage hit some email programs, the release said.
The outage affected File & Serve, the system Idaho courts use to deliver electronically filed documents by email. Under the court's order, any document due through that system on Nov. 12 counts as on time if it was submitted before 5 p.m. on Nov. 13.
Filers who met that deadline do not need to ask for relief case by case, the order says. It points to Idaho Rule for Electronic Filing and Service 14, which allows relief when the electronic filing system is temporarily down.
The release did not say how many filings were affected.
