ACTION REQUIRED: YOU MUST RECONNECT YOUR CASES
A recent update to the MiFILE system may disconnect your name and email address from your case. This means you will not be e-Served with documents in the case until you reconnect to your case. To reconnect:

- On the Case Details Page, look for the "I am this Person" button to the right of your name and click on it.

you are already connected to an email address. To confirm that it is the
email address you used for e-Service in your case, go to the Upload
Filings screen, select "Serve Document," and review "Select Recipients"
pane.
