Rule 11.1. FILINGS AFFECTED BY JUDICIAL EMERGENCY ORDERS

For appeals, petitions for certiorari, applications, motions, disciplinary proceedings, and other proceedings for which any filing deadlines have been suspended by any order declaring a statewide judicial emergency, as extended by subsequent orders, or by a local judicial emergency order entered by the chief judge of a superior court, parties shall, when submitting any filing so affected, attach to the end of such filing a separate "Certificate of Timeliness." Such certificate shall not be counted 15 toward the applicable page limitation, see Rule 20, and shall state the following:

(1) the date the filing was due before the deadline for the filing was suspended (without regard to any non-emergency-related extensions previously granted, and without the application of OCGA § 1-3-1(d)(3) where the filing deadline would have fallen on a weekend or legal holiday);

(2) the number of days that remained before the date specified in (1), as of suspension of the deadline; and

(3) that the filing being submitted is timely because it is being filed within the number of days calculated under (2), counting from the date the suspension is lifted (subject to OCGA § 1-3-1(d)(3) if this new filing deadline falls on a weekend or legal holiday). In the event a party's filing deadline has been affected by any local judicial emergency order entered by the chief judge of a superior court or by any case-specific trial court order, a copy of each such order shall be attached to the party's Certificate of Timeliness. The Certificate of Timeliness should be in substantially this form.
