Common confusion points
Confusing 'Admission' with 'Filing': Filing is putting it in; Admission is the court saying, 'Yes, we accept it.'
Thinking you need to use 45D.02 for *every* document: You only do this notice when a specific group of documents needs formal notification.
Not knowing which Court Registry handles your case: The form must be filed at the correct local court office.
Assuming it automatically means the judge agrees with the content: Admission is acceptance into the file, not necessarily agreement on the facts.
