Notice to all GANB CM/ECF participants - - -

The Clerk's Office was asked to implement a mechanism that would alert electronic filers attempting to file a new petition that a case was filed within the previous 7 days that matches the SSN of the case being uploaded.

We have been successful, and you will now see an alert that tells you a case already exists. You will have the option to continue if you wish. We are hopeful this new tool will be beneficial to you. Please let us know if you experience any problems.
