VIII. E-Filing Judgments
To reach the judgment screen, log in and choose “File to Existing Case” as
explained in the previous section. Enter the index/claim number in the box and
select the court from the drop-down menu. On the next screen, under Non-
Motion Documents, an option for Proposed Judgment to Clerk or Court will
appear.
After selecting this option and clicking the Next button, an Add Documents screen
will open. The screen, tailored to the submission of proposed judgments only,
displays a drop-down Document Type menu limited to these options: Judgment
Clerk Default (Proposed); Judgment – to County Clerk (Proposed); Judgment – to
Court (Proposed); and Judgment by Confession (Proposed). (The Judgment by
Confession option will not appear in all counties.) Select the correct judgment
type from the drop-down, attach the PDF of the proposed judgment, and fill in
the other document criteria as needed. Then click the Next button.
An Add Accompanying Documents screen will open. Here, select any required or
optional documents from the drop-down menu, attach the PDFs of those
documents, and enter any document criteria as needed. You also may upload any
documents that are related to the judgment but are not presently part of the
NYSCEF record. When you have selected all documents, click the Next button.
An Assemble Judgment Roll screen will open. The Judgment Roll section of the
screen will display a list of ALL documents in the e-docket. You may choose any or
all of these documents to be included in the judgment roll by checking the box
alongside the document number. A Sort By drop down allows you to search for
certain documents by document type, document number, file date, filer, and
motion number.
Caution: You must select at least one document for the judgment roll. Failure to
select any documents will result in an error message.
When you have completed selecting documents for the judgment roll, click the
Next button.
A Review Your Filing screen opens, which allows you to edit any of the previously
entered information, including the proposed judgment roll, by clicking the links
under Document Type. Remember to enter your internal file number (if any) and
to check the Filing Acknowledgment. When you have confirmed your filing, a
payment screen may open, e.g., for a Clerk Default Judgment (see Section IV(H)).
