Notice of Appearance for Unrepresented Parties Within 14 days after a new case is docketed, an unrepresented party must submit a Notice of Unrepresented Person Appearance (Form 8B) (pdf). As part of submitting this Notice, the unrepresented party will also elect whether to file or to receive service electronically.
