The United States District Court for the Central District of California upgraded its CM/ECF software to the Next Generation (“NextGen”) of CM/ECF on February 18, 2020. Users who had CM/ECF accounts before February 18, 2020 must link their old CM/ECF accounts to their individual, upgraded PACER accounts on or after February 18, 2020. Step-by-step instructions are set forth in the attachment. Linking your accounts only needs to be done once for each NextGen court.
Before you link your accounts, you must:
- Have an individual (i.e., not firm-wide), upgraded PACER account (visit the PACER website for more information at https://www.pacer.gov/nextgen/);
AND
- Know your old CM/ECF username and password. Click one of these links for more information:
