Once the form has been completed by the attorney and submitted to the Clerk of Court, the Clerk will enter the docketnumber onto the form and make one copy for the attorneys file and one copy for the Court file. Clerks using SCATS will referto the form to enter the appropriate information into SCATS. Those not yet using SCATS will forward a copy to the AOC.Upon disposition (see below), Clerks using SCATS will perform a batch submission via SCATS; clerks offices not yet usingSCATS will complete the Civil Case Disposition Report and forward to the AOC. Upon disposition, if applicable, ChildSupport Information Sheets shall be sent to the AOC.

Code Ann. 43-19-31 (l)(iii) (Supp. 2000), cases wherein child support is sought must provide name, date of birth a nd Social Security number of all parties to the case to the States repository for this information (in Mississippi, the Department of Human Services). If child support is contemplated at the time of filing the initial pleading, filing party must complete Child Support Information Sheet. Initial pleadings wherein child suppo rt is contemplated must include this sheet prior to the clerks admitting the pleadings for suit; if, at any ti me after filing initial pleadings, child support becomes an issue and this sheet has not been submitted as part of the Court fil e, attorney for Plaintiff shall provide the completed form for the Courts file. Any information not provided at the time of filing, b ut discovered at a later time up to disposition of the case, may be reflected in a more complete form being filed with the clerks office for the court file. The Child Support Information Sheet shall be submitted by the cl erk to the AOC along with the disposition form (see below), or at the time of electronic transmission of disposition information to the AOC. (Note: Those clerks using SCATS may enter the information from this form into SCATS at any time during the life of the case; in other words, if you receive this form with the initial pleadings in a case, you may enter child support information at the same time you enter case filing information simply because its at your fingertips at that time, and precludes the necessity of looking through the file upon disposition.)Civil Case Disposition Form This form is the responsibility of the Clerks office in each county upon disposition of cases. (Those Clerks whose offices are using SCATS need not complete a hard copy of this form, since your next batch submission will be automatically updated with the disposition information. However, the Child Support I nformation Sheet should be sent regardless of whether the SCATS system is used or not). <<<<<<<<<********>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2 Court Identification Case Year Docket Number C OVER S HEE T Docket Number C ivil C ase Filing Form (To be completed by Attorney/Pa rty County # Judicial Court ID District (CH, CI, CO) Prior to Filing of Pleading) Local Docket ID Mississippi S upreme Court Form AOC/01 __________________________________Administrative Office of Courts (Revised 5/11/2000) Month Date Year Case Number if filed prior to 1/1/94 This area to be completed by Clerk In the Court of CountyS hort S tyle of Case: Party Filing Initial Pleading: Type/Print Name MS Bar No. Check ( ) if Not an Attorney Check ( ) if Pro Hac Vice S ignature Compensatory Damages S ought: Punitive Damages S ought: Is Child S upport contemplated as an iss ue in this suit?
