Important Court Information

ATTENTION - NATIONWIDE NOTICES OF ELECTRONIC FILING SCAM
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. All inquirers and court customers are encouraged to take caution if they receive these fake NEFs, validate cases and case documentation through CM/ECF only, and not to download any attachments or click any links from unofficial or questionable sources.

Unclaimed Funds

In some bankruptcy cases, money is leftover from the bankruptcy estate, which the Court holds as unclaimed funds on behalf of the parties owed. Request payment of any unclaimed funds you are owed by filing an application with the Court.
