C.D. Cal. L.Cr.R. 49-1.1

Mandatory Electronic Filing in Criminal Cases

activein force · 2025-12-01 – presentact-effective-date

Except as provided in L.Cr.R. 49-1.2, all documents filed in criminal

cases must be filed electronically using the Court’s CM/ECF System.

Sending a document by email does not constitute an electronic filing.

To file documents using the CM/ECF System, an attorney must obtain

an individual account login and password from the federal judiciary’s

national Public Access to Court Electronic Records (“PACER”)

system (www.pacer.gov) and link this account to the Court’s CM/ECF

System. After the attorney’s PACER account has been linked to the

Court’s CM/ECF System, the attorney must use the PACER-issued

login and password to file documents through the Court’s CM/ECF

System.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
