IMPORTANT NOTICE: The United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia (WVSD) will be upgrading its current CM/ECF system to the Next Generation of CM/ECF (NextGen CM/ECF) on Monday, June 11, 2018 . Complete information regarding the WVSD NextGen CM/ECF implementation can be found at[LINK:h ttp://www.wvsd.uscourts.gov/nextgen-information] . Currently, many attorneys within a firm may share a single PACER account. This will no longer be allowed with the new WVSD NextGen CM/ECF system because each attorney must have an individual upgraded PACER account that will be linked to their e-filing account. Shared PACER accounts cannot be used by WVSD e-filing attorneys once the WVSD NextGen CM/ECF system is implemented. Preparing for NextGen CM/ECF is a two-step process. Step one is to upgrade your PACER account, and step two is to link your upgraded PACER account to the WVSD e-filing account in the upgraded NextGen CM/ECF system. This notice only addresses the first step because the second step can't be completed until on or after June 11, 2018. The first step is to check and see if your PACER account is an "Upgraded" PACER account. Many PACER accounts have already been upgraded. If any of the following is true, you have an upgraded PACER account and no action is required until after the WVSD NextGen CM/ECF upgrade on June 11, 2018: 1) You have an upgraded PACER account for another NextGen court; or, 2) Your PACER account was created after August 10, 2014. If none of these are true, you must upgrade your legacy PACER account before you will be able to link your PACER account to your current WVSD CM/ECF account for your new NextGen CM/ECF account. Additional notices will be sent at a later date on how to handle the second step in this process. If you still have questions please contact the PACER Service Center at 800-676-6856 or the WVSD Clerk's Office CM/ECF Help Desk at (304)-347-3111. (mwk) (ADI) [Transferred from wvsd on 8/9/2018.]

Please log in to the WVSD CM/ECF system at [LINK:http://ecf.wv sd.uscourts.gov] before June 7, 2018 to make sure you know your current WVSD e-filing login and password.

If you do not know your login or password or have any additional questions please call the WVSD Clerk's Office CM/ECF Help Desk at (304)-347-3111. (mwk) (ADI) [Transferred from wvsd on 8/9/2018.]
