You can search for docket events by clicking the Search button located on right side of the CM/ECF toolbar. When you are prompted to search for menus and events, type in a word or phrase and click ‘Search.’ The system will then provide you with a list of docket events using that word or phrase. If your docket event is listed, you may click on it to begin the filing process.

If you cannot find the docket event using the Search feature, contact the CM/ECF Help Desk at 1-866-450-1859 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time or send an email to: cmecf_helpdesk@cit.uscourts.gov.

If you need to file a document after Clerk’s Office hours (8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m, Eastern Time), you can use the docket event, Z-motion or Z-document, to preserve your filing date.
