NextGen Information

Posted By okwd_admin On In | Comments Disabled

NOTICE: The United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma is upgraded its current CM/ECF system to the Next Generation of CM/ECF (NextGen CM/ECF) on Monday, August 3, 2020.

If you are admitted to the Western District of Oklahoma but NOT yet an e-filer, register for e-filer privileges in PACER [1].

Current E-filers MUST do the following in order to file electronically in this Court on or after August 3, 2020:

  1. Obtain your own individual PACER account [2] or upgrade your existing individual PACER account [3].  Existing “Legacy” PACER accounts (accounts issued prior to August 11, 2014) must be upgraded.
  2. CJA Attorneys will only need one PACER account for filing and viewing in CM/ECF NextGen.  If you have a separate exempt CJA account now, those exempt privileges will be added to your individual upgraded PACER account and your current exempt account will be canceled.  Click here [4] for instructions on requesting the CJA fee exemption.  NOTE:  Because your upgraded CJA PACER account will have a different log-in name, we suggest that you wait until the live date is only a few days away before you upgrade your account (between July 30-August 2).
  3. Know your current CM/ECF Log-in and Password.  Make sure you know your CM/ECF log-in and password before the court upgrades to NextGen.  If your log-in information is stored in the browser, it will be lost and not recoverable.  If you do not know your log-in or password, contact the court for a reset at 405-609-5555.
  4. Link your upgraded PACER account to your CM/ECF account.  NOTE:  You will NOT be able to file in NextGen until your ECF account is linked to your upgraded individual PACER account.  Click here [5] to view the step-by-step instructions you will perform on or after August 3, 2020 to link a CM/ECF account to an upgraded PACER account.
