Add Recipients (note: PACER for MML)
After adding your documents, the next step in the upload process is Add Addresses. This is where you confirm the recipients and mailing method for your job.
How Recipients Are Populated
If you selected Master Mailing Matrix as your address source, CoS pulls the recipients directly from your court's ECF system. Each recipient appears as a card showing their name and address.
If you selected User Supplied, you will be asked to provide a list in .txt, excel, csv, or a manual address.
If you selected Case Parties, CoS pulls the recipients directly from your court’s ECF system.
How to Set Mailing Method
Each recipient card includes checkboxes for the available mailing methods:
- First-Class
- Certified
- Priority Express
- CM/ECF*
*When an address is marked CM/ECF, the recipient will not be mailed to, but will be included in the COS, listed as CM/ECF.
Select the method that should be used for each recipient. By default, recipients pulled from the Master Mailing Matrix are checked for First-Class.
How to Exclude a Recipient
To exclude a recipient from the mailing, uncheck all mailing method boxes on their card. An Excluded label will appear on the card to confirm. These addresses will not show up on the CoS and they will not be mailed to. See "Excluding Addresses" for more information.
Notes- Review each recipient card carefully before continuing, since the mailing method selected here determines how that recipient is served.
- Once your recipients are confirmed, continue to the next step, Set Preferences.
- You will not be able to continue to the next step until all addresses pass the address check or you indicate you would like to proceed with addresses that did not pass.
