UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
CM/ECF Media Access
Members of the media can now sign-up for automatic e:mail notification of electronic filings (NEF) made in specific civil and criminal cases. Each NEF includes a hyperlink to the non-sealed, electronically filed document.
Registered media members will be able to add/remove specific civil and criminal non-sealed cases to their account at any time. Media members must select between daily summary NEF e:mails that are sent at midnight or individual NEF e:mails that are sent when the document is filed.
To register for this service, a completed CM/ECF Media Access Application must be submitted to CACMediaAccess@cacd.uscourts.gov. A district court Press Pass Number or other press credential must be provided with the application. Applications received without a Press Pass Number or other proof of press credential will not be processed. (To obtain a Press Pass Number, complete a Press Pass Application prior to submitting the CM/ECF Media Access application).
To view electronically filed documents, the media member must have a PACER account. (PACER information is available at www.pacer.psc.uscourts.gov or by calling the PACER Service Center at 800-676-6856.) Docket information cannot be obtained over the telephone from the clerk's office.
Registered media members are responsible for updating their individual e:mail address when it changes. If an NEF is returned undeliverable, the e:mail address will be removed from the account. Members may update their e:mail address at any time to reactive the account.
For questions concerning this service, email CACMediaAccess@cacd.uscourts.gov or call 213-894-0088.
