Missouri Supreme Court announces electrical failure impacting systems

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – An electrical failure on Saturday, June 29 at one of the Missouri judiciary’s data centers damaged computer equipment.

As a result, various systems across the state – including Case.net and e-filing – may be unavailable or have limited functionality.

Although the cause of the failure remains under investigation at this time, there is no reason to
believe this was the result of any suspicious activity.

Information technology staff from the Supreme Court of Missouri’s state courts administrator’s office (OSCA) have been working to restore access to the case management systems and other impacted systems. Most functionality is expected to be operational within a few days.

Courts will remain open and should be working to continue essential functions. Any local court-specific notices provided to OSCA or the Court will be posted to the Notices page online.

Electronic filing users may be unable to submit filings for existing cases during this time. They may be able to file new cases, but the courts may be unable to process them at this time. For further information, users should
refer to Rule 103.06, which sets out the procedures to follow in the event the electronic filing system is unavailable at the time a user attempts to file a document.

Questions can be directed to the OSCA Help Desk by calling toll-free at (888) 541-4894 or by e mail at OSCA.Help.Desk@courts.mo.gov.
