Rule 205.1 - Filing Legal Papers(a) Any party filing an application or other document which requires the signature of a judge or action by the court shall first file the original document with the Prothonotary or the Clerk of Courts, as the case may be. (1) If the application does not involve a matter to be listed for one-judge disposition pursuant to York R.C.P. 208.3(b) , the moving party shall provide a copy of the application and an original proposed order to the prothonotary for delivery to the court.(2) Orders: (i) An original proposed order, with a brief title describing the nature of the proposed order (as examples: "Order Scheduling Argument" or "Order Granting Motions for Sanctions") shall accompany each document delivered to the Court Administrator for assignment, but shall not be fastened together.(ii) No proposed orders shall be filed with the Prothonotary or the Clerk of Courts with the original application. (iii) The judge's signature line shall be on a page with at least some of the body of the order or have an abbreviated caption and the case number on the page.(3) Sufficient copies of the proposed order for conforming, and for service on all parties who will not be served by electronic means shall accompany each document delivered to the Court Administrator for assignment to a judge.(4) Where notice of the entry of any order is required under Pa.R.C.P. No. 236, the moving party shall include in the proposed order the names of the parties who are required to be notified, and shall provide sufficient copies of the proposed order, with stamped envelopes addressed to those parties bearing the return address of the Prothonotary, so notice can be made, unless notice will be made to a party by electronic means. For matters that will be presented at current business, the copies of the proposed orders and the stamped envelopes may be presented at the current business sessions at which the matter is presented, instead of being delivered to the Court Administrator as required by (3) above.(5) Once a document is considered by a judge, the original of any resulting order will be filed by the judge with the Prothonotary and copies of the order will be available for return to the moving party, or for service pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. No. 236.(6) For matters of which the Prothonotary is not required to give notice under Pa.R.C.P. No. 236, it shall be the responsibility of the moving party to forthwith serve copies of the resulting order, rule, or other action by the court on all parties to the matter and promptly file a certificate of service with the Prothonotary.(b) Documents shall not be sent by facsimile to a judge or to the Court Administrator without leave of court.(c) Parties shall not attach copies of pleadings or documents already filed of record.(d) A filed document in a case shall not contain any of the personal data identifiers listed in this rule unless otherwise required by law or permitted by order of court, or unless redacted in conformity with this rule. The personal data identifiers covered by this rule and the required redactions are as follows: (1) Social Security Numbers. If an individual's Social Security Number must be included in a document, only the last four digits of that number shall be used;(2) Dates of Birth. If an individual's date of birth must be included, only the year shall be used;(3) Financial Account Numbers. If financial account numbers must be included, only the last four digits shall be used.(4) A party wishing to file a document containing the personal data identifiers listed above may file, under seal, a summary reference list indicating the redacted information and their corresponding complete personal data identifiers.(5) The responsibility for redacting these personal identifiers rests solely with the parties. Documents will not be reviewed by the Prothonotary for compliance with this Rule.Amended effective through 8/1/2023.
