Notice of "Night Filing"

This is to notify litigants in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals that an "after-hours" filing box has been placed in the lobby of the H. Carl Moultrie I Courthouse, 500 Indiana Avenue, N.W. The "after-hours" or "night-filing" box is at the same location as the "night-filing" box used by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia; it is next to the Information Counter in the lobby.

Litigants who wish to file pleadings or other case-related papers in the D.C. Court of Appeals may use that box, labeled "D.C. Court of Appeals." Litigants are advised to use the machine provided to "date/time stamp" each copy of any pleading or other paper to be filed in the "after-hours" box. Pleadings and other papers placed in that box will be deemed and docketed as "received" on the date indicated on the "date/time stamp." Pleadings and other papers in that box without notation by the "date/time stamp" machine, will be deemed and docketed as "received" on the next business day.
