All documents filed in any office of the Court shall be endorsed with the day and exact time of filing, which endorsement, in the absence of fraud, accident or mistake shall be conclusive evidence of such date and time of filing.

   (a)(1)  No pleading, papers, affidavits or other documents may be filed in any office of the Court on paper other than 8 1/2" × 11" in size.

   (a)(2)  No paper shall be filed in any office of the Court unless it is written in ink, clearly legible, printed, or typewritten in print no smaller than typewriting with lines (except quotations) not closer than typewriting double spacing; contains the caption of the proceeding, including the name and division of the Court, identifying case number, the names of the parties, the title of the proceeding and the name of the paper. All papers filed shall be endorsed with the name, address, telephone number and I.D. number of the attorney filing it or the name, address and telephone number of the party if there is no attorney. The caption of any paper filed subsequent to a Complaint need only state the name of the first party on each side with an appropriate indication of the other parties.

   (a)(3)  While the use of backers is not required, it is strongly encouraged as a means to assist the Court in readily identifying and reviewing filed documents.

   (a)(6)  No original documents shall be faxed to the prothonotary's office without prior leave of court.

Rule 205.3--Removing Papers

   (a)  Except as hereinafter provided, no record or document shall be taken from the Office of the Prothonotary or staff without a written order signed by the President Judge requiring the return of such record or document within a specified time; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall a bond or recognizance be removed while the same continues in force and effect. In cases where the President Judge authorizes the removal of records or documents, the Prothonotary or staff, as the case may be, shall take a written receipt for the records or documents removed and shall cause the same to be noted in a book maintained for such purpose and filed with the record papers in the case, which receipt shall be cancelled upon return of the records or documents removed.

   (b)  In cases pending in this Court or in proceedings held before duly appointed officers of the Court, the Prothonotary or staff may deliver record papers or dockets to the appointed officer of the Court, accepting in return such officer's written receipt which shall be noted and filed as hereinbefore set forth.

All written petitions shall be signed by counsel and may be filed at any time during regular business hours with the prothonotary. Counsel's signature upon a petition shall constitute a certification that counsel has read the petition and that, to the best of counsel's knowledge, information and belief, it is supported by sufficient legal or factual grounds and that it is not interposed merely for delay. The prothonotary shall deliver daily a petitions list with accompanying petitions to the court administrator to monitor and assign to a judge.

   (g)  All petitions and answers thereto, shall comply with these provisions.

   (h)  Failure to comply with any provision of this rule may constitute sufficient grounds for the court to dismiss the petition and/or deny any requested relief.

Rule 206.3 Verification

Rule 206.4 Rule to Show Cause. Discretionary Issuance. Stay. Form of Order

   (a)  A petition shall proceed upon a rule to show cause.

   (b)  The rule to show cause procedures prescribed by this rule shall apply if

   (1)  the relief sought by the petition is the opening of a default judgment or a judgment of non pros, or

   (2)  the petition is of a type authorized by local rule to be determined pursuant to a rule to show cause, or

   (3)  the court, upon its own motion or the request of a party, has determined the issuance of a rule to show cause as to the particular petition will serve the interests of justice.

   (c)  The issuance of a rule to show cause shall be discretionary with the court. If the petition is within the scope of subdivision (a), is properly pleaded, and states prima facie grounds for relief, the court may enter an order issuing a rule to show cause and may grant a stay of the proceedings.

   (d)  A petitioner seeking the issuance of a rule to show cause shall attach to the petition a proposed order in the form prescribed by subdivision (d)(1) and give notice to all other parties of the intention to request the court to issue the rule.
