If you are trying to access ECF and cannot get in, please contact our ECF HelpDesk immediately to report the problem. It is important to note the date, exact time of the day and nature of the problem. The clerk's office maintains a log of ECF downtime. Deeming the filing of a document or paper to be timely under such circumstances will be a judicial function of the court. If you wish, you may file the document with the court on disk.
