Reminder - CM-ECF File Size Increase
April 30, 2009
Effective Friday, May 1, 2009, the U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota, will increase the individual file size limit for PDF
documents filed on the court's CM/ECF system. The current file size limit of 2.5 MB per document will increase to 5 MB per document.
For attorney e-filers, this change will reduce the need to split large documents filed electronically in CM/ECF, such as exhibits,
into two or more smaller PDF documents. It also means that some e-filed documents could take longer to view/download when accessing
them from e-mail Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs), or when using PACER. The complete announcement regarding this change is available
on the court's public website. Please click on the
link to view the announcement.
For assistance with PDF documents or other questions, please contact the court's ECF HelpDesk at 1-866-325-4975 or 612-664-5155
