Sidney Municipal Court, Ohio Filing Rules

Filings requiring a fee must be mailed with payment or filed in person at the Clerk’s window.

Parties and attorneys should list their contact information on each document presented for filing, and attorneys should also list their Ohio attorney registration numbers.

A document sent by mail or another delivery service is not considered filed until the Clerk’s office receives it.

For fax filing, direct documents to the clerk’s fax number, 937-498-8179, and not to judges’ chambers.

Documents may be filed at the Clerk’s office during regular business hours, through the Court’s e-Filing site, by email, by fax, or by mail.

The clerk may accept handwritten documents but may reject any document that is not clearly legible.

The Court will send notices, communications, and legally required documents to trial counsel.

Any request for the continuance of a scheduled court hearing should be made in a written motion that is filed with the clerk, and the motion should describe one or more reasons for the request.

A party filing a motion to suppress in a criminal or traffic case should provide an extra copy of that motion to the clerk, who in turn will give it to the Judge.

Social security numbers and other personal identifying information should be redacted before filing; attorneys and parties are responsible for redaction, and the clerk will not check for it.
