Elimination of Requirement to Provide Notice to Lapsed Address

In the event notices, pleadings or other documents are returned by the postal service or noted as undelivered or unopened by the e-mail system after the court administrator's mailing (or e-mailing where authorized by rule) to a party or attorney's address of record on two separate occasions, the administrator should make reasonable efforts to obtain a valid, current address. If those efforts are not successful, the administrator may omit making further United States Mail transmissions to that party or attorney in that action, and shall place appropriate notice in the court file or docket indicating that notices are not being mailed to all parties.
