Confirm the following:

  • Are you using the correct login and password?
  • Are you on the correct website? Each federal district court has a separate e-filing website. Please confirm you are logging into the link associated with Central District of California: https://ecf.cacd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/ShowIndex.pl.
  • Have you linked your old CM/ECF account to your individual, upgraded PACER account since the Court upgraded to NextGen CM/ECF on February 18, 2020? For more information, please refer to https://www.cacd.uscourts.gov/e-filing/nextgen-cmecf.
  • If your login and password still does not work, please e-mail or call the CM/ECF Help Desk for assistance.
