When checking a §2255 filing in a criminal case, also check for a corresponding:
- A.
  
  Civil Case
- B.
  
  MJ Case
Correct Answer
A. Civil Case

Explanation
When checking a §2255 filing in a criminal case, it is important to also check for a corresponding civil case. This is because a §2255 filing is a motion made by a federal prisoner to challenge the legality of their conviction or sentence. In some cases, the prisoner may also file a civil lawsuit related to the same issues. Therefore, it is necessary to check for any civil cases that may be connected to the §2255 filing to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the legal situation.

3.

It's okay to leave an alias as the main case name if that's how the indictment refers to the defendant most of the time.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement suggests that it is acceptable to use an alias as the main case name if it is the way the indictment refers to the defendant most of the time. However, the correct answer is false. Using an alias as the main case name is not okay, even if it is commonly used in the indictment. The main case name should accurately represent the defendant's legal identity and not confuse or mislead the court or the parties involved in the case.

Rate this question:
4.

All counsel who are listed on the complaint must be added at case opening.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
When filing a complaint, it is important to include all counsel who are listed on the complaint at case opening. This ensures that all parties involved are properly notified and included in the legal proceedings. Failure to add all counsel listed on the complaint can result in procedural errors and hinder the progress of the case. Therefore, it is necessary to add all counsel at case opening to ensure a fair and comprehensive legal process.

Rate this question:
5.

The Cause of Action (COA) entered during case opening should be consistent with the COA referenced in the complaint. If not:
- A.
  
  E-mail the attorney and ask them to refile with the correct COA.
- B.
  
  Court staff should update the COA and add a court only Remark to document the change.
Correct Answer
B. Court staff should update the COA and add a court only Remark to document the change.

Explanation
The correct answer is "Court staff should update the COA and add a court only Remark to document the change." This is because if the COA entered during case opening is not consistent with the COA referenced in the complaint, it is necessary to update the COA to ensure accuracy and consistency. Additionally, adding a court only Remark helps to document the change for future reference and transparency. E-mailing the attorney to refile with the correct COA may be an option, but it is not mentioned as the preferred or necessary course of action in the given scenario.

Rate this question:
6.

Diversity Jurisdiction requires parties to accurately list their:
- A.
  
  State or National Citizenship
- B.
  
  Race
Correct Answer
A. State or National Citizenship

Explanation
Diversity jurisdiction refers to the jurisdiction of federal courts over cases involving citizens from different states. In order to establish diversity jurisdiction, parties must accurately list their state or national citizenship. This information is crucial for determining whether the case meets the requirements for federal jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship. Race, on the other hand, is not a relevant factor in determining diversity jurisdiction and therefore does not need to be listed.

Rate this question:
7.

At case opening Class Action should never be selected because the judge will rule on that later.
- A.
  
  True, classes must be certified first.
- B.
  
  False, cases may be filed as a class action before they are certified.
Correct Answer
B. False, cases may be filed as a class action before they are certified.

Explanation
The correct answer is false because cases can indeed be filed as a class action before they are certified. Class certification is a process where the court determines whether a lawsuit can proceed as a class action, and it typically occurs after the case has been filed. Therefore, it is possible for a plaintiff to choose the class action option at case opening, even though the judge will ultimately rule on class certification later in the process.

Rate this question:
8.

County codes are no longer required for statistical data, so you do not have to verify them at case opening.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement suggests that county codes are no longer necessary for statistical data and do not need to be verified at case opening. However, the correct answer is False, indicating that county codes are still required for statistical data and should be verified at case opening.

Rate this question:
9.

In MJ cases, only the first count must be entered at case opening. Additional counts on the information or indictment should be added after initial appearance by the CRD.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
In MJ cases, it is not true that only the first count must be entered at case opening. Additional counts on the information or indictment should not be added after initial appearance by the CRD.

Rate this question:
10.

If using damages to seek federal jurisdiction, the minimum demand is $75,000.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
If a party wants to bring a case to federal court based on damages, they must meet the minimum demand requirement of $75,000. This means that the amount of damages being sought in the case must be at least $75,000 for federal jurisdiction to apply. If the damages being sought are below this threshold, the case would typically be heard in state court instead. Therefore, the statement that the minimum demand is $75,000 in order to seek federal jurisdiction is true.

Rate this question:
11.

If a filer selects the incorrect fee status:
- A.
  
  Do nothing, this is a Finance issue not a QC issue.
- B.
  
  Select Case Opening Error and correct the fee status.
Correct Answer
B. Select Case Opening Error and correct the fee status.

Explanation
If a filer selects the incorrect fee status, it is necessary to select the "Case Opening Error" option and correct the fee status. This indicates that the mistake made by the filer is related to the case opening process, rather than a financial issue. By selecting this option, the filer can rectify the error and ensure that the fee status is accurately recorded.

Rate this question:
12.

Jury demands may only by made in the Initial Complaint.
- A.
  
  True, that's why it's a "Case Opening Error" in QCS.
- B.
  
  False, but they frequently are made in the complaint so it's found in the "Case Opening Error" section in QCS.
Correct Answer
B. False, but they frequently are made in the complaint so it's found in the "Case Opening Error" section in QCS.

Explanation
The correct answer is False. While jury demands can be made in the complaint, they are not limited to the initial complaint. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that jury demands may only be made in the initial complaint. However, because jury demands are frequently made in the complaint, they are often found in the "Case Opening Error" section in QCS.

Rate this question:
13.

If the Nature of Suit (NOS) code is incorrect:
- A.
  
  E-mail the filer to refile with the correct NOS code.
- B.
  
  Staff should correct the NOS as appropriate.
Correct Answer
B. Staff should correct the NOS as appropriate.

Explanation
The given answer suggests that if the Nature of Suit (NOS) code is incorrect, the staff should be responsible for correcting it as per the appropriate code. This implies that it is the staff's duty to ensure the accuracy of the NOS code and make any necessary corrections. E-mailing the filer to refile with the correct NOS code is not mentioned as a suggested action in the answer.

Select the real case origin options below:
- A.
  
  Removal
- B.
  
  Transient
- C.
  
  Remand
- D.
  
  Sur-Remand
- E.
  
  MDL
- F.
  
  PSR
Correct Answer(s)
A. Removal
C. Remand
E. MDL

Explanation
The real case origin options listed are Removal, Remand, and MDL. "Removal" refers to the transfer of a case from a state court to a federal court. "Remand" is the opposite, where a case is sent back from a federal court to a state court. "MDL" stands for Multidistrict Litigation, which is a procedure used when multiple similar cases from different districts are consolidated and transferred to a single federal court for efficiency. These options represent different stages and processes in the legal system for handling cases.

Rate this question:
15.

For a Notice of Removal, the correct county code is:
- A.
  
  The county from which the case is being removed.
- B.
  
  The county the case is being removed to.
Correct Answer
A. The county from which the case is being removed.

Explanation
The correct county code for a Notice of Removal is the county from which the case is being removed. This means that the code should correspond to the county where the original case was filed and is being transferred from.

Rate this question:
16.

New civil cases do not need a cover sheet if they clearly lay out all the required information in the complaint.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
False. New civil cases still need a cover sheet even if they clearly lay out all the required information in the complaint. The cover sheet provides essential details about the case, such as the parties involved, the nature of the dispute, and the relief sought. It helps to organize and categorize the case for efficient processing by the court. Therefore, even if the complaint is comprehensive, a cover sheet is still necessary.

Rate this question:
17.

When entering official party names (not aliases), use ALL CAPS for readability and to reduce potential for error.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The correct answer is False because when entering official party names, it is not necessary to use ALL CAPS. While using all caps can improve readability and reduce potential for error, it is not a requirement. The question is asking for the correct answer regarding the use of caps in official party names, and the correct answer is that it is not necessary to use all caps.

Rate this question:
18.

If multiple attorney names appear in the signature block, only the signing attorney needs to be added as a case participant.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
If multiple attorney names appear in the signature block, it is not sufficient to add only the signing attorney as a case participant. All the attorney names that appear in the signature block should be added as case participants. Therefore, the statement is false.

Rate this question:
19.

If an attorney should have been terminated but wasn't that means the entry was docketed in the incorrect event.
- A.
  
  True, all events involving participants ask if you want to terminate case participants as part of the event.
- B.
  
  False, not all events involving participants ask if you want to terminate case participants and it may need to be done separately.
Correct Answer
B. False, not all events involving participants ask if you want to terminate case participants and it may need to be done separately.

Explanation
The correct answer is false because not all events involving participants ask if you want to terminate case participants and it may need to be done separately. This means that even if an attorney should have been terminated, it does not necessarily mean that the entry was docketed in the incorrect event.

Rate this question:
20.

If paper copies should have been sent by staff but no indication was made on the docket, that error is found under which QCS category:
- A.
  
  "Clerk Action/Process Error"
- B.
  
  "Statistical/Informational Error"
Correct Answer
A. "Clerk Action/Process Error"

Explanation
The correct answer is "Clerk Action/Process Error" because if paper copies were supposed to be sent by staff but no indication was made on the docket, it suggests that there was an error in the action or process carried out by the clerk. This error falls under the category of "Clerk Action/Process Error" as it pertains to mistakes made by the clerk during their duties or in following the correct procedures.

Rate this question:
21.

If a Clerk's Office action was mentioned in the docket text but not completed (such as vacating or striking orders) you should:
- A.
  
  Fix the mistake but mark the entry as "No Errors" as a favor to the Docket Clerk or Courtroom Deputy.
- B.
  
  Mark the entry as "Clerk Action/Process Error" and confer with the Docket Clerk or Courtroom Deputy assigned to the case on the best way to proceed.
Correct Answer
B. Mark the entry as "Clerk Action/Process Error" and confer with the Docket Clerk or Courtroom Deputy assigned to the case on the best way to proceed.

Explanation
If a Clerk's Office action was mentioned in the docket text but not completed, the correct course of action is to mark the entry as "Clerk Action/Process Error" and consult with the Docket Clerk or Courtroom Deputy assigned to the case for guidance on how to proceed. This ensures that the mistake is acknowledged and addressed appropriately, allowing for the necessary actions to be taken to rectify the situation.

Rate this question:
22.

If a summons was not issued inadvertently following case initiation:
- A.
  
  Generate and distribute the appropriate documents and use the court only Remark event to list the date the document was issued.
- B.
  
  Generate and distribute the appropriate documents and use the public Administrative Correction of the Record event to list the date the document was issued.
Correct Answer
A. Generate and distribute the appropriate documents and use the court only Remark event to list the date the document was issued.

Explanation
The correct answer is to generate and distribute the appropriate documents and use the court only Remark event to list the date the document was issued. This means that if a summons was not issued inadvertently following case initiation, the appropriate documents should still be generated and distributed. However, instead of using the public Administrative Correction of the Record event, the court only Remark event should be used to list the date the document was issued. This ensures that the correct information is recorded and communicated within the court system.

Rate this question:
23.

When correcting a deadline error, if you update the case using "Edit Schedules" in QCS, then CM/ECF will update the docket text automatically.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
When correcting a deadline error, updating the case using "Edit Schedules" in QCS does not automatically update the docket text in CM/ECF. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Rate this question:

24.

If you notice a date error, such as "Trial to begin on Monday, June 2, 2019" when June 2nd is actually a Sunday, you should:
- A.
  
  Select "Deadline/Date/Hearing Error" and call it a day.
- B.
  
  Select "Deadline/Date/Hearing Error" and correct the docket entry text.
- C.
  
  Select "Deadline/Date/Hearing Error," correct the docket entry text, and edit the schedule to update the deadline in the background.
- D.
  
  Select "Deadline/Date/Hearing Error," correct the docket entry text, edit the schedule to update the deadline in the background, and e-mail the Managers group to alert them of the error.
Correct Answer
C. Select "Deadline/Date/Hearing Error," correct the docket entry text, and edit the schedule to update the deadline in the background.

Explanation
The correct answer is to select "Deadline/Date/Hearing Error," correct the docket entry text, and edit the schedule to update the deadline in the background. This is the most appropriate action to take when there is a date error in a docket entry. By correcting the docket entry text and updating the deadline in the schedule, the error can be rectified and the correct information will be reflected.

Pick the correct filing date for an Order:
- A.
  
  Date of the Judge's signature.
- B.
  
  Date of docketing.
Correct Answer
A. Date of the Judge's signature.

Explanation
The correct filing date for an Order is the date of the Judge's signature. This is because the Judge's signature signifies the finalization and approval of the Order, making it legally binding. The date of docketing, on the other hand, refers to the date when the Order is officially recorded in the court's docket system for administrative purposes, but it does not determine the filing date or the legal validity of the Order. Therefore, the date of the Judge's signature is the appropriate filing date for an Order.

Rate this question:
26.

Pick the correct filing date for a minute entry:
- A.
  
  Date of the hearing.
- B.
  
  Date the entry was written.
Correct Answer
A. Date of the hearing.

Explanation
The correct filing date for a minute entry is the date of the hearing. This is because a minute entry is a record of the proceedings that took place during a hearing, and it is important to accurately reflect the date on which those proceedings occurred. The date the entry was written may not necessarily align with the date of the hearing, as it could be written at a later time.

Rate this question:
27.

If a date correction affects a deadline, hearing, or schedule then:
- A.
  
  Enter a court only Remark for clarity.
- B.
  
  Enter a public Administrative Correction of the Record.
Correct Answer
B. Enter a public Administrative Correction of the Record.

Explanation
If a date correction affects a deadline, hearing, or schedule, it is necessary to enter a public Administrative Correction of the Record. This is because an Administrative Correction of the Record is a formal and public document that corrects errors or inaccuracies in official records. By entering this correction, it ensures that the correct date is recorded and acknowledged, especially in legal or administrative proceedings. A court only Remark for clarity may not be sufficient in this case as it does not provide the same level of formality and public acknowledgement as an Administrative Correction of the Record.

Rate this question:
28.

Case flags can only be seen from the CM/ECF docket sheet, so they do not need to be checked in paperless minute entries.
- A.
  
  True, going to the docket sheet for most entries is an unnecessary step.
- B.
  
  False, case flags are displayed in QCS and should be checked for each entry.
Correct Answer
B. False, case flags are displayed in QCS and should be checked for each entry.

Explanation
The correct answer is False because case flags are displayed in QCS (Quality Control System) and should be checked for each entry. This means that it is necessary to check the case flags in QCS, rather than assuming that they do not need to be checked in paperless minute entries.

Rate this question:
29.

Co-Counsel Not Added can be either a "Case Opening Error" or a "Docketing Error," depending upon the filing.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because "Co-Counsel Not Added" can indeed be categorized as either a "Case Opening Error" or a "Docketing Error" based on the specific filing. This suggests that the absence of co-counsel in a case can be attributed to either an error made during the initial opening of the case or a mistake made during the docketing process.

Rate this question:
30.

Docket text should be free from typos, misspellings, and duplicate wording.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
This statement is true because a docket text, which is a written record of court proceedings, should be accurate and free from errors. Typos and misspellings can lead to misunderstandings and confusion, while duplicate wording may unnecessarily lengthen the text and make it less concise. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the docket text is carefully reviewed and edited to eliminate any mistakes or duplications.

When a filing is accidentally filed in the wrong case by an external party:
- A.
  
  Delete the entry, make a court only Remark and send an Instant E-Mail by selecting the PDF/Docket Entry Entered in the Wrong Case radio button.
- B.
  
  Seal the entry, make a public Administrative Correction of the Record and send an Instant E-Mail by selecting the PDF/Docket Entry Entered in the Wrong Case radio button.
Correct Answer
B. Seal the entry, make a public Administrative Correction of the Record and send an Instant E-Mail by selecting the PDF/Docket Entry Entered in the Wrong Case radio button.
32.

If a duplicate entry is made in a criminal case:
- A.
  
  Deleting the entry will delete the duplicate excludable delays.
- B.
  
  You should modify or delete excludable delays as necessary.
Correct Answer
B. You should modify or delete excludable delays as necessary.

Explanation
If a duplicate entry is made in a criminal case, it is necessary to modify or delete the excludable delays associated with it. This is because duplicate entries can cause inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the case records, leading to potential errors in the legal proceedings. By modifying or deleting the excludable delays, the case can be streamlined and the correct information can be maintained, ensuring a fair and just process.

33.

Typically, after a case has been transferred out of the District of Oregon, documents should not be filed in the terminated District Court case.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
After a case has been transferred out of the District of Oregon, it is not necessary to file any documents in the terminated District Court case. This is because the case has been transferred to a different jurisdiction or court, and therefore any further filings or actions should be done in the new court where the case has been transferred to. Filing documents in the terminated District Court case would be unnecessary and potentially confusing.

Rate this question:
34.

Generally, a docket entry that relates to or responds to a previous entry should be linked to the previous entry.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
In legal proceedings, it is important to maintain a clear and organized record of all the actions and responses. By linking a docket entry that relates to or responds to a previous entry, it helps to establish a chronological order and connection between the different entries. This allows for easy reference and understanding of the case history. Therefore, it is true that a docket entry should be linked to the previous entry to ensure a coherent and comprehensive record.

Rate this question:

A common problem found if an incorrect docketing event was used is:
- A.
  
  Attorneys are improperly terminated.
- B.
  
  Deadlines are not properly set, reset or terminated.
Correct Answer
B. Deadlines are not properly set, reset or terminated.

Explanation
If an incorrect docketing event was used, it can lead to the problem of deadlines not being properly set, reset, or terminated. This means that important dates and time limits for legal actions may not be accurately recorded or tracked. This can result in missed deadlines, potential legal consequences, and inefficiencies in the legal process. It is crucial for dockets to be accurately maintained to ensure smooth workflow and compliance with legal requirements.

Rate this question:
36.

If an incomplete list of filers was selected (for example, if a document is filed on behalf of 3 defendants, but only 1 was selected):
- A.
  
  Select "Docketing Error"
- B.
  
  Select "Statistical/Informational Error"
Correct Answer
A. Select "Docketing Error"

Explanation
If an incomplete list of filers was selected, it means that the document was filed on behalf of multiple defendants but only one defendant was selected. This indicates an error in the docketing process, where the person responsible for selecting the defendants made a mistake by not including all of them. Therefore, the correct answer is to select "Docketing Error" to indicate that there was an error in the process of entering the defendants' information into the system.

Rate this question:
37.

If a filer chose an incorrect lead event name (e.g. complaint instead of notice of removal) during the electronic filing process:
- A.
  
  Instruct the filer to refile through the Corrections e-mail with the proper event selected.
- B.
  
  Modify the event directly using the Edit Docket Entries function.
Correct Answer
B. Modify the event directly using the Edit Docket Entries function.

Explanation
If a filer chose an incorrect lead event name during the electronic filing process, the correct solution is to modify the event directly using the Edit Docket Entries function. This means that instead of instructing the filer to refile through the Corrections email with the proper event selected, the event can be modified directly using the Edit Docket Entries function. This allows for a quicker and more efficient resolution to the issue, without the need for the filer to go through the entire filing process again.

Rate this question:
38.

Every motion that has been ruled on is to be terminated when the order is entered or when the motion has become moot.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
This statement is true because once a motion has been ruled on, it is considered resolved and no longer requires further action. The order entered signifies the official decision or outcome of the motion, and once this order is entered or if the motion becomes moot (meaning it is no longer relevant or has lost its purpose), the motion is terminated. Therefore, the statement accurately states that every motion that has been ruled on is to be terminated when the order is entered or when the motion has become moot.

Rate this question:

Motions for leave to file an amended document should have the proposed document uploaded as an attachment.
- A.
  
  True, the amended document should be included.
- B.
  
  False, the filer must wait until the motion is granted to file the amended document.
Correct Answer
A. True, the amended document should be included.

Explanation
When filing a motion for leave to file an amended document, it is necessary to include the proposed document as an attachment. This is because the purpose of the motion is to request permission to make changes to the original document, and including the amended document allows the court or relevant authority to review the proposed changes. Therefore, it is true that the amended document should be included when filing a motion for leave to file an amended document.

Rate this question:
40.

A proposed order should be filed as a stand-alone docket entry.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
A proposed order should not be filed as a stand-alone docket entry. Instead, it should be filed as an attachment or exhibit to a motion or pleading. This allows the proposed order to be associated with the relevant case or motion and ensures that it is considered by the court in the appropriate context. Filing a proposed order as a stand-alone docket entry may lead to confusion and make it difficult for the court to locate and review the proposed order in relation to the relevant motion or pleading.

Checking case access level (e.g. sealed, court only) is an important part of the QC process.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Checking case access level is indeed an important part of the QC (Quality Control) process. This step ensures that only authorized individuals, such as court officials or relevant parties, have access to sensitive case information. By verifying the access level, the QC process can maintain confidentiality and prevent unauthorized access or leakage of sensitive information. Therefore, the statement "True" correctly reflects the importance of checking case access level in the QC process.

Select the option where both statements are true:
- A.
  
  Motions and supporting memos should be a single document; Affidavits and declarations should be filed as attachments to motions.
- B.
  
  Supporting memos should be attachments to motions; Affidavits and declarations should be attachments to motions.
- C.
  
  Supporting memos should be attachments to motions; Affidavits and declarations should be separate documents.
- D.
  
  Motions and supporting memos should be a single document; Affidavits and declarations should be separate documents.
Correct Answer
D. Motions and supporting memos should be a single document; Affidavits and declarations should be separate documents.

Explanation
The correct answer is "Motions and supporting memos should be a single document; Affidavits and declarations should be separate documents." This answer correctly states that motions and supporting memos should be combined into one document, while affidavits and declarations should be separate documents. This ensures that each type of document is organized and filed appropriately.

  True, exhibits and attachments are not required to be text searchable.
- B.
  
  False, exhibits and attachments are also required to be text searchable.
Correct Answer
B. False, exhibits and attachments are also required to be text searchable.

Exhibits or attachments to pleadings should be clearly numbered, but it is not considered an error if numbers are missing.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Exhibits or attachments to pleadings should be clearly numbered to ensure clarity and organization. If numbers are missing, it can lead to confusion and difficulty in referencing specific exhibits. Therefore, it is considered an error if numbers are missing, making the statement false.

If the attached PDF file is illegible, the filer should:
- A.
  
  E-mail a legible copy to the Corrections e-mail and staff will replace the document.
- B.
  
  File a motion to refile and attach the legible document as an attachment to the motion.
Correct Answer
A. E-mail a legible copy to the Corrections e-mail and staff will replace the document.

Explanation
The correct answer is to e-mail a legible copy to the Corrections e-mail and staff will replace the document.
