(List any additional recipient required by an applicable rule or court order.)

SECTION V — ELECTRONIC FILING NOTES

Mandatory E-Filing: Rule 122(b) generally requires Kansas attorneys to
use an approved district court electronic filing system, subject to the
rule's exceptions. Kansas Courts eFiling and Johnson County eFiling are the
approved systems under Rule 122(a).

System Notice: Rule 122(c) permits service by the system's notice of
electronic filing on a represented party whose attorney is a filing user.
The service date is the document's file-stamp date under Rule 122(d).

Other Electronic Service: K.S.A. 60-205(b)(2)(F) permits electronic
service only when a current Supreme Court or local rule authorizes it. Rule
111 concerns filing format. Order 2023-RL-077's temporary email-service rule
was rescinded effective September 3, 2024, by Order 2024-CC-077.

SECTION VI — PRIVACY — PERSONAL IDENTIFIER REDACTIONS

Kansas Supreme Court Rule 123(b) requires exclusion or partial redaction of
these personal identifiers from filed documents and exhibits, unless law or a
court order requires otherwise:

• Social Security numbers (use last 4 digits only)
• Financial account numbers (use last 4 digits only)
• Dates of birth (use year of birth only, where necessary)

☐ I confirm that this filing complies with Kansas Supreme Court Rule 123
regarding personal identifier redactions.

SECTION VII — TIME COMPUTATION / MAIL RULE

Under K.S.A. 60-206(d), when a party's deadline runs from service by mail under
§ 60-205(b)(2)(C), or from service by leaving a paper with the clerk under
§ 60-205(b)(2)(D), three days are added after the period otherwise expires.
This addition does not apply to electronic service.

Example: If a 30-day period runs from mail service, compute the 30-day
period under § 60-206(a), then add three days under § 60-206(d).

If the final day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the deadline
extends to the next day that is none of those under K.S.A. 60-206(a).

DECLARATION

I certify that the service information above is true and correct.

Executed on [__/__/____] at [________________________________], Kansas.

PRACTITIONER NOTES

1. Approved systems. Rule 122 approves Kansas Courts eFiling and Johnson
County eFiling for district court use. Confirm who has entered an appearance as
a filing user before relying on system notice to serve a represented party.

2. Electronic service. Use another electronic method only when a current
Supreme Court or local rule authorizes that method under K.S.A. 60-205(b)(2)(F).
Rule 111 is a filing-format rule; the temporary email-service order from 2023
has been rescinded.

3. Privacy Rule 123. Kansas Supreme Court Rule 123 imposes strict redaction
requirements. Review every document before filing to ensure compliance.
The clerk does not review filings for compliance with Rule 123(c).

4. Case-Specific Requirements. Check applicable local rules and orders for
any additional service directions before filing.

5. Three-Day Extension. K.S.A. 60-206(d) adds three days after the otherwise
computed period when service is by mail or by leaving the paper with the clerk.
Apply the weekend and holiday rule in K.S.A. 60-206(a).

6. Additional Recipients. If a rule or order requires service on additional
interested persons, record each recipient and the authorized method separately.

7. Record Retention. Retain system transaction IDs, any authorized electronic delivery logs, and
certified mail return cards for the duration of the case and any post-judgment
proceedings.
