There has been nationwide reporting of fake Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) being sent to attorneys and law firms across the country. These fake NEFs are phishing attempts to convince recipients to respond back to the emails. Once a recipient replies to the email, they are sent a follow-on email containing a link to access a document that leads the user to a malicious website. We encourage you to take caution if you receive these fake NEFs. You should validate cases and case documentation through CM/ECF only, and do not download any attachments or click any links from unofficial or questionable sources. 

If you have any questions about the validity of documents purportedly from the Court – please call the Clerk’s Office for confirmation.
