69. How do I file an affidavit?
Note: If you are filing a financial affidavit in a family case, you must select the correct name for
your document in order to have the financial affidavit sealed as provided in Practice Book Section
25-59A (h). Please see the next section for information on filing a financial affidavit.
To e-file an affidavit, you must scan in the fully executed original document and convert it to a
PDF file. You may then file it as a document through the e-filing system. You are required to
retain the original signed paper document throughout the pendency of the action, including
any applicable appeal period and appellate process for all cases initiated with a return date of
December 31, 2009 and earlier. For cases initiated with a return date of January 1, 2010 and
in the future, you are not required to retain the original signed paper document.
70. How do I file an amended complaint after it has been served on a defendant who has
been added to a case pursuant to a Motion to Cite In?
If you are returning an amended complaint that was served pursuant to a Motion to Cite in,
please return the amended complaint, summons and other documents as Amended
Complaint as served. In the area in which you can add a further description of what you are
filing, you will refer to the motion to cite-in
and the summons. The marshal’s return of service
should be filed as Return of Service. In the further description area, you will refer to the
amended complaint as served.
71. How do I file an objection to discovery requests and the required cover sheet?
A cover sheet is no longer required by P.B. §§ 13-8 or 13-10. To file your objection, you
create a PDF document that contains your objection and file it as Objection to Motion or
Request for Discovery PB CH13.
72. How do I ask the Court to compel a party to comply with discovery, for example, ask
for a nonsuit or default for failure to comply with a discovery request?
New names have been provided for filing these types of motions. For example, you can
enter “compli” in the search area on the Select a Motion page, and you will see the following
list that you can choose from:
Motion for Order of Compliance

Please note that to have these motions appear on the short calendar, you will need to reclaim
them ten days after you file them under Practice Book Section 17-31.
73. How do I file a Pretrial Memo electronically?
A Pretrial Memo cannot be filed electronically. It is usually brought by the attorneys to the
pretrial for the use of the Judge at the pretrial and is not formally filed with the Court. The
form for a pretrial memo is JD-ES-47.
