Subject: Professional Courtesy Notice — Months of eFileMaine Failures, Delayed Parental Rights, and Continuing Child Impact
Sender: Justin Tahai
Direct institutional recipients: Tyler Technologies filing support; Maine eCourts help; Maine Judicial Branch
Additional distribution: members of the 132nd Maine Legislature; Maine and regional newsrooms; public officials; counsel and parties

Purpose
This email gave Tyler Technologies and the Maine Judicial Branch direct notice of alleged recurring eFileMaine filing failures, opaque rejections, resubmissions, fragmented routing, delayed action, and child-impact consequences.

Selected exact excerpts
“As a professional courtesy—and I use that phrase quite deliberately—I am giving Tyler Technologies and the Maine Judicial Branch another direct opportunity to address the continuing failure of eFileMaine...”

“A multimillion-dollar, taxpayer-funded electronic court system should not require a self-represented parent to serve as its unpaid quality-assurance engineer, PDF diagnostician, archive specialist, OCR engine, routing analyst, and technical-support department merely to obtain access to a judge.”

“The public purchased an electronic court system. It did not purchase an antiquated web application that places a login screen in front of a largely manual, opaque, and rejection-driven process.”

Requested response
A substantive human response, an escalation reference, internal review, and assurance that filing-system failures would not prejudice judicial review.
