| About SDAP
SDAP is a law firm that does criminal and juvenile appeals for indigent clients in the San Jose area. We are not the court of appeal. Signatures No Longer Required in 6DCA
The original rule that documents filed in the Sixth District through TrueFiling must include a real signature has been repealed. Now an electronic signature is sufficient, but counsel must retain a signed original.
(Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.75(a).)

RULE OF COURT

Mandatory Form for Augment Motions
Starting November 13, 2017, the Sixth District Court of Appeal will require the use of a form proposed order for all motions to augment the record. Until then, the form is voluntary. The pdf fillable proposed order must be used in civil appeals as well.
Reportedly, there have been problems with how attorneys have filled out the form.
PLEASE READ MORE!
FORM PROPOSED ORDER
Electronical Filing Required at U.S. S.Ct.
Counsel is required to submit an electronic version of papers filed in the United Supreme Court. This process is different from TrueFiling and the system used in the lower federal courts. Because it can take a few days or a week for enrollment in electronic filing to be approved, counsel is urged to apply well in advance of any deadline for filing a document.
