Photocopies

Photocopies in both active and closed cases filed on or after August 15, 2002 are available from the Clerk's Office. Requests for photocopies of case or adversary proceeding documents can be made in writing, in person or by phone. If the requestor provides a clear document reference (i.e., document number or date document entered where very few documents entered on such date) and the document is available within the Court premises, the Clerk's Office will provide the copies free of any additional search charge (copy work fee of $.50 per page still applies).

For cases filed before August 15, 2002, photocopies are available from the Clerk's Office directly if the case is still active. For copies in closed cases filed prior to August 15, 2002, refer to the Closed Case Information Page.
