For an oral notice to change a judge, filing is determined by when the notice is officially recorded. The moment the court hears the notice and it is entered into the court’s record (the minutes or docket) marks the filing date. This matters because the official record provides the binding timestamp for deadlines and rights in the case. Oral notices rely on the court’s record to establish their validity, rather than on when a clerk receives a document or when the notice is drafted. In contrast, written notices are typically filed when delivered to the clerk and entered into the record. So, the filing date is the date the oral notice is made on the record.
