Rule  2102. Filing of papers. (a) Except where otherwise prescribed by
  law or order of court, papers required to be filed shall be  filed  with
  the  clerk  of the court in which the action is triable. In an action or
  proceeding in supreme or county court and in a proceeding not brought in
  a court, papers required to be filed shall be filed with  the  clerk  of
  the county in which the proceeding is brought.
(b)  A  paper  filed  in  accordance  with  the  rules  of  the  chief
  administrator or any local rule or practice  established  by  the  court
  shall be deemed filed. Where such rules or practice allow for the filing
  of  a  paper  other  than  at the office of the clerk of the court, such
  paper shall be transmitted to the clerk of the court.
(c) A clerk shall not refuse to accept for filing any paper  presented
  for  that purpose except where specifically directed to do so by statute
  or rules promulgated by the chief administrator of the courts, or  order
  of the court.
