Please be advised that the Clerk’s Office recently became aware that attorneys who have selected to receive daily e-mail summaries of CM/ECF activity may not have received those reports since November 15, 2024. (Note: If you receive emails from CM/ECF each time something is filed and do not only receive a nightly summary this does not apply to you.).
CM/ECF will be unavaible beginning Friday, November 15, 2024 at 5:00 PM and it is anticipated that it will be down until Sunday morning. This page will be updated when the work is complete. Please see L.R. 5005-3(b) for filing when ECF is unavailable.
The District Court issued Standing Order No. 2023-20 on November 6, 2023, effective December 1, 2023. The Standing Order regulates the possession and use of cameras and personal electronic devices in the Courthouses of the Middle District of Pennsylvania. This includes attorneys and pro se litigants.
Attorneys with a valid bar identification card, United States Department of Justice credentials, or the Office of the Federal Public Defender are exempt from the Standing Order. Thus, attorneys wishing to bring personal electronic devices (including cell phones and computers) must bring a valid bar identification card to access these devices in the courtroom.
Audio files are provided at a cost of $34.00 per hearing. Requests will be processed upon receipt of payment. The easiest/fastest way to pay is to use the online payment system. Alternatively, checks/money orders must be payable to "Clerk, U.S. Bankruptcy Court." by mail or in person at either courthouse location..
