This is a Federal interest computer pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030 and as such it is a Federal crime to alter, tamper, damage or destroy any computer or information contained therein. The United States Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigations have investigative jurisdiction regarding such Federal crimes. You are also, with or without prior authority, subject to having all of your activities monitored and/or recorded.***************************************************************************** UPDATE: Recommended Guidelines for Scanned Documents per Adminstrative Office 07/01/2009 To improve image quality, image resolution for scanners should be set to black and white at 600 dpi for scanned images of clean, typed documents; or grayscale at 400 dpi for handwritten or scanned image documents. Scanned documents with color are not accepted by this court. This update replaces the previous standard recommendation of 150 - 300 dpi.**************************************************************************** ATTENTION The court would like to make CM/ECF filers aware of certain security concerns relating to a software application or "plug-in" called RECAP, which was designed by a group from Princeton University to enable the sharing of court documents on the Internet. Once a user loads RECAP, documents that he or she subsequently accesses via PACER are automatically sent to a public Internet repository. Other RECAP/PACER users are then able to see whether documents are available from the Internet repository. RECAP captures District and Bankruptcy Court documents, but has not yet incorporated Appellate Court functionality. At this time, RECAP does not appear to provide users with access to restricted or sealed documents. Please be aware that RECAP is open-source software, which can be freely obtained by anyone with Internet access and modified for benign or malicious purposes, such as facilitating unauthorized access to restricted or sealed documents. Accordingly, CM/ECF filers are reminded to be diligent about their computer security practices to ensure that documents are not inadvertently shared or compromised. The court and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts will continue to analyze the implications of RECAP or related-software and advise you of any ongoing or further concerns. **************************************************************************** PLEASE READ - PUBLIC ACCESS INFORMATION CM/ECF Version 3.3.1 DOCUMENT FILING SYSTEM JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT AND DISABLILTY
