Confusion has reigned for weeks as PACER - the federal on line filing and docket system - implemented multi factor authentication which required the use of an authenticator app to log on and file your objections to the PSR which recommended a two-level increase in the guidelines for sophisticated because your client used a motor vehicle during the course of the conspiracy. Here’s their memo.
Of course all of this stems from the panic over the hack of the federal court system by the Russians who apparently got access to judge’s private chats where they are discussing innovative ways to deny motions in as few words as possible. “I can deny that rule 29 motion to dismiss in 32 words.” And of course the Supreme Court’s ruling on their shadow docket: “I can grant the Trump administration’s canceling research into childhood cancer in twenty- five words.”
The PACER Service Center (PSC) is currently experiencing long call wait times due to the enforcement of several security features that will enhance the security of PACER accounts, including updated password standards and multifactor authentication (MFA).
To help mitigate the wait times, enforcement of the updated password standards has been temporarily delayed. In addition, only users who receive a prompt to enroll in MFA when they log in should do so. If you do not receive an MFA enrollment prompt, no action is necessary. Please do not contact the PSC with questions about MFA until you are required to enroll. This ensures support is available for those who need it.
