9th Circuit Court of Appeals

Due to a nationwide technical issue on July 3, 2025, the Ninth Circuit's case management systems are unavailable. This effects both CM/ECF and ACMS. The Administrative Office of the Courts is actively working on the issue.

For all emergency filings needed to be docketed under Ninth Circuit Rule 27-3: litigants may email the PDF to EFilerHelp@ca9.uscourts.gov and the court will manually file the document.

For all non-emergency filings: litigants should check back after 3pm PDT today. If the case management systems are still unavailable after 3pm PDT on July 3, 2025, the court will sua sponte extend the deadlines for filings due today under Fed. R. App. P. 26(a)(3).

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WINDOW: ACMS may be unavailable from 8:00AM to 12:00 PM Pacific Time every Saturday for system maintenance.
