Administrative Directive
T1 Five previous Administrative Directives have been issued by this court regarding a uniform numbering system, case types/prefixes and/or cover sheets for the district courts. Each of these directives (No. 68-1, 89-1, 89-7, 92-06 and 99-87) is amended as it relates to the subject matter of this new directive.
12 Effective January 1, 2010, all district courts shall adopt a uniform case numbering system. All cases shall bear a case prefix, then a hyphen and then all four digits of the calendar year, which shall be followed by a hyphen and the number of the case. Cases shall be consecutively numbered within a calendar year.
13 Beginning January 1, 2010, and on each January 1 thereafter, the four digits of the calendar year designation shall be changed and the consecutive case number shall begin again with number 1. Case numbers must be assigned by the District Court Clerks to ensure that the cases remain in sequence.
T4 Effective January 1, 2010, each court shall adopt and exclusively use the case types/prefixes set forth on attached Exhibit "A" which is incorporated herein by reference. If other case types/prefixes are needed in the future for the orderly filing of cases, the Administrative Director of the Courts may present recommended changes or new case types/prefixes to the Chief Justice for approval.
T5 Effective January 1, 2010, each district court shall adopt and use the attached civil and criminal cover sheets. These cover sheets shall accompany each party's initial filing in a case.
*795T6 The new cover sheets are not to be filed, nor made a part of the case. The clerk of the court shall destroy each cover sheet within thirty days.
