Hello Mary,I had filed my answer by mail(FedEx) on the date line (June 16) since I'm out of town, and have included a self-address-stamped envelope to the clerk of the court but instead of write down the CC Lawyer address on the envelop, I wrote mine. Now the package is sitting at my home in NC. What is going to happen to this case next?thanks,

Hello there.

So, did the court itself actually receive the filing? The only mistake was with the "CC" to the opposing lawyer?
MARY
Based on FexEx tracking, my filing was delivered on June 15 and the self-addressed-stamped envelop was delivered to my resident in NC on June 25.The self-addressed-stamped envelop was addressed wrongly.thanks,
Hello again --
The most important thing here is that the court received the filing on or before the date it was due at the court. If the court did receive the filing by the deadline date and this was just a mistake on the opposing counsel's copy then that is not such a big deal here. My suggestion is that you print off the filing again and place a coverletter to the opposing counsel and make it sound like federal express made the mistake (eg " Please be advised that the enclosed filing was made at the court on XXXXXX, which was within the deadline that the filing was required to be made. I sent a copy to you on XXXX as required but federal express made a mistake and delivered the package to the return address on the envelope (which was my own address)). I apologize for any convenience this may have caused). This should not be a fatal flaw so long as the court received the filing on the correct date.
Please let me know if you have more questions. I have to go offline for the next few hours because I have to go food shopping for the holiday but I will be back online at about 7 pm EST and will be working until at least midnight. So, if you have additional questions I will get back to you in a few hours but will absolutely answer them tonight (I will not forget about you!)
