The electronic case files system accepts documents in a portable document format (PDF). PDF retains the way a document looks, so the pages, fonts and other formatting are preserved. Filing a document with the Court’s CM/ECF system is quite easy:

1. Create the document using word processing software.
2. Save the document in PDF format.
3. Log onto the Court’s CM/ECF system, using a Court-issued login and password.
4. Follow the set of simple prompts to provide information about the case, party and document to be filed.
5. Attach the PDF document and submit it to the Court for filing (by pressing a submit button).
6. Save or print the CM/ECF electronic receipt emailed from the Court confirming that the document was filed.
