As of June 24, 2019, this Court has transitioned to the next generation of CM/ECF (NextGen CM/ECF).
- I am having trouble e-filing a pleading/document, what can I do?
See our Learning Modules for step by step instructions.
- I can't e-file, what should I do?
If you were an e-filer with the Western District of New York Bankruptcy Court before our conversion to NextGen CM/ECF on June 24, 2019, you can try to Link (pdf) your PACER account with your Legacy e-filing account, otherwise, you can register for a new e-filing account.
- We share PACER accounts in my firm/office. Can we continue to do this in NextGen CM/ECF?
If you intend to e-file, you are required to have your own PACER account because your PACER account will be linked to your e-filing account.
- I forgot my password, what can I do?
Click here to reset your PACER account password. NOTE: When you reset your PACER password, you must enter the email address that is on file with the PACER Service Center for the process to be successful.
To recover your Legacy CM/ECF password, you can contact the court during regular business hours.
- Is there training available for NextGen CM/ECF?
Yes, PACER has several electronic learning modules (ELMs) that can help you learn more about the NextGen CM/ECF system.
