# §1210.6. Electronic filing procedures; expedited filing procedures.

- (a) **Required use of MSPB e-filing system.** All parties must electronically file all pleadings and documents listed in [5 CFR 1201.14(b)](/cfr/5/1201.14.md?p=b) by using the MSPB's e-filing system (e-Appeal Online). An attempt to file an appeal using any other method will result in rejection of the appeal and will not constitute compliance with the 7-day filing deadline under the Act, except in the limited circumstances described in [§ 1210.7(c)](/cfr/5/1210.7.md?p=c).
- (b) **Expedited filing and service requirements.** All documents and pleadings not otherwise covered in [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section must be filed in accordance with any expedited filing and service procedures ordered by the administrative judge.
- (c) The parties should frequently check the Repository on e-Appeal Online to ensure that they are aware of new pleadings, orders and submissions in a timely fashion. A party's failure to check for updates on e-Appeal Online may lead to a denial of a request to extend a deadline and/or the imposition of sanctions.
