DOCKET-CIVIL-CCC
ORDER OF THE COURT
On March 1, 2011 the Court electronically modified and granted the proposed Order and
Judgment submitted by counsel for the Estate of Cecil Griffin. However, believing the electronic
approval encountered irreparable difficulties that would prevent it from being released through
the eFile system, the Court signed a hard copy version of the modified order on March 1, 2011;
which was entered (filed) by the courtroom clerk on March 2, 2011. Thereafter, the Court was
notified that the electronic version was ultimately approved through the eFiling system, bearing a
file date of March 1, 2011; thereby causing two versions of the Order and Judgment to be
docketed in the file and sent to the parties. In order to clarify the record in this matter,
IT IS ORDERED vacating the March 1, 2011 electronic version of the Order and
Judgment filed by the clerk on March 1, 2011.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED affirming the March 1, 2011 Order and Judgment filed by
the clerk on March 2, 2011 at 11:30 a.m.

You may now choose to use the Clerk of Court hosted eFiling system, or one of the
Court's qualified eFiling service providers to electronically file your pleadings. Please visit the
following web site for more information on your options for eFiling.
http://www.clerkofcourt.maricopa.gov/efiling/default.asp
To assist in the transition to eFiling, the Office of the Clerk of the Superior Court has
prepared instruction and training concerning the eFiling system. All parties and attorneys of
record in this case are strongly encouraged to study this material before the mandatory eFiling
date. The web site address for training materials is:
http://eventures.clerkofcourt.maricopa.gov/training.asp
Additionally, please be sure to review the eFiling Guidelines set forth by Administrative
Order 2007-140 at the following web site address:
https://efiling.clerkofcourt.maricopa.gov/efilingguidelines
Upon the mandatory eFiling date, all attorneys of record shall eFile all pleadings in
accordance with the guidelines set forth in Administrative Order 2007-140. Self-represented
parties or pro per litigants, and other case participants like Mediators, Arbitrators, and Special
Discovery Masters are strongly encouraged to eFile all pleadings. If a self-represented party, or
other case participant chooses to file their pleading in paper, they shall include a notation just
under the case number on the first page of the pleading that the case is an “EFILE CASE”.
The eFiling system can be accessed from any computer that has an Internet connection.
Free internet access terminals are available in the Superior Court Law Library, and other public
locations such as most public libraries.
Where filing fees may incur on an electronic filing, they may be paid by credit card at the

Clerk of the Court to receive their Minute Entries electronically via e-mail. The Minute Entry
Distribution Agreement form may be downloaded at:
http://www.clerkofcourt.maricopa.gov/forms.asp
The Court strongly encourages filing parties to submit all proposed forms of order in
a Microsoft Word format because that format allows judicial officers to make minor changes to
an existing order and issue it electronically.
Motion practice: The movant determines the caption of the filing and all captions on
subsequent related filings shall bear the same designation. For example, the filing of a motion
captioned "Defendant's Motion for Summer Judgment on Negligence" shall result in any
subsequent related filings referring to that title in the caption: "Plaintiff's Response to
Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment on Negligence." No response to a motion shall
contain a separate motion, except in the case of a cross-motion bearing the same designation.
