Clerk of Court has deemed ECF system subject to technical failure for 6/28 and 6/29

The CM/ECF system experienced serious technical difficulties beginning on Thursday, 6/28 that continued through Friday, 6/29 were resolved as of mid-day on June 30.  Civil Local Rule 5-1(e)(5) governs how technical failures affect deadlines:

Technical Failure. The Clerk shall deem the ECF system to be subject to a technical failure on a given day if the system is unable to accept filings continuously or intermittently over the course of any period of time greater than one hour after 12:00 noon that day. Filings due on the day of a technical failure which were not filed solely due to such technical failure shall be due the next court day. Such delayed filings shall be accompanied by a declaration or affidavit attesting to the filer’s failed attempts to file electronically at least two times after 12:00 noon separated by at least one hour on each day of delay due to such technical failure.

Clerk of Court Rich Wieking has deemed the ECF system to have been subject to technical failure on Thursday & Friday 6/28 and 6/29 for purposes of Rule 5-1(e)(5).
