What is in my PACER starter package?

     Login and Password

     Your login and password are found on the first page of the introductory correspondence sent by the PACER
     Service Center.  Your login consists of two alpha and four numeric characters (i.e., aa0001). Your password
     consists of eight combined alpha and numeric characters.  Your login and password should always be
     entered in lowercase.

     Court Modem Numbers and Settings

     The second part of the introductory correspondence is a listing of modem numbers with the correct modem
     settings for each court you have registered to access.

     User Manual

     The user manual contains information that will be helpful while you are using PACER.  Please refer questions
     pertaining to information in the manual to the PACER Service Center at 800-676-6856.  

How do I dial a court?

The first step to dialing a court is to become familiar with your communication software package.  Most
communication software packages have two dialing options.  You may manually dial a court by using your
communication software's manual dial option.  This will require you to enter the court's modem number and settings
each time you dial. The PACER Service Center recommends establishing a dialing directory with each court's modem
number and settings.  This will enable you to more efficiently utilize the PACER system. 

Most PACER systems are set for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity with VT100 terminal emulation.  Flow control
should be set to RTS/CTS or none.  Your software must be set to these parameters.  However,  a few PACER systems
require pcAnywhere software.  For those courts that require the use of pcAnywhere, you must use a terminal emulation
of pcAnywhere.  The courts you have registered for that require pcAnywhere have been notated on page two of the
introductory correspondence.

If you need help manually dialing a court or setting up a dialing directory, you will need to refer to your
communications software manual for instructions.  

One last helpful hint before you get started.

If you dial a 9 (or other code) to get an outside line, or a long distance code for dialing long distance numbers on your
telephone, you may also need to do so when dialing through your modem (i.e., 9,18002140847 or 12123856005,code). 
Use the comma key for a pause.

1. ELECTRONIC PUBLIC ACCESS

1.1  Introduction

     The Federal Court system has services and technologies designed to provide people
outside the court (the "public") with easier and better access to court information.  In
cooperation with the United States Courts the Federal Judicial Center (FJC) designed an
electronic public access system called PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records). 
There are two distinct and separate PACER services: one for the U.S. District Courts and the
second for the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts.  The method of accessing and querying for
information from the two services is comparable; however, users must dial different telephone
numbers, and the format and content of information provided differ.  Some bankruptcy courts
have locally developed PACER service (such courts are considered  "NIBS" courts).

     Federal circuit courts are offering electronic public access through ABBS (Appellate
Bulletin Board System).  ABBS is a nationally standard appellate bulletin board designed to
bring you appellate court decisions (slip opinions) and other court information such as court
oral argument calendars, case dockets, local bar rules, notices and reports, and press releases.  

     These systems allow the use of a computer and modem to dial into the court, connect to
a special public information computer, and request information about a case.  The system can
provide lists of cases, searched by name, as well as a comprehensive electronic summary
record of any case.  This information can be saved on a computer, or may be printed
immediately.  Without visiting the court, a user can obtain case and party information.

     The system is useful when you need quick, accurate information about current federal
cases.  You can:

       Track updates to a case of interest -- the user can check if anything has happened to
       one or perhaps several cases you are tracking.

       Obtain a printed summary of a case -- the user can retrieve the public summary
       record of a typical case.

       Listing of recently docketed events -- the user can review any recent docket entries
       to any case with recent docket activity.

       Research case involvements by name -- for example, the user can search for all the
       cases where "ABC Manufacturing" is a litigant.

       Obtain slip opinions as soon as they are available to the public  -- (appellate courts
              only)1.2  What Is Needed

     The user will need the following items to access this system.  If there is a problem with
your in-office equipment and software, contact your equipment vendor (the court cannot
provide assistance).

     1.   Computer -- A computer allows the user to save downloaded data (case
          information) onto a disk for later review, printing, or even editing (such
          as with a word processor).  You must also have a computer to run some
          type of communication software.

     2.   Printer -- A printer is indispensable for obtaining a "hard copy" of the
          information you received.  It is much easier to read a printed version,
          and it can serve as a file document for later reference.

     3.   Modem -- Currently 2400, 9600 or faster baud modems are acceptable. 
          Use the fastest speed possible.  It makes the system easier to use,
          particularly for downloading large docket reports. 

1.3  Technical Specifications

     Most PACER systems are set for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity with vt100
terminal emulation.  Other than that, it is pure ASCII.  If you experience problems running at
the standard settings try switching them to 7 bits, 1 stop bit and even parity.  A few courts use
these settings.

1.4  Capturing Information

     The easiest method to access the system is to set the communications software to
perform a continuous save to disk during the entire session.  When the session is finished, it is
possible to edit the saved file (if necessary) and print it out for review and reference.  If
desirable, a user may begin the save-to-disk only after selecting a case to obtain information
(but before the report (y/n) question is answered).  In this way, the reports(s) can be saved in a
file, so the user will not have to edit the extraneous lines later.  For downloading slip
opinions, see the ABBS section of this manual.

     If using a printing terminal, a printed version of the entire session will be produced. 
Often, a dumb terminal can also be set to do a continuous print.  Either way, this provides a
paper copy of the session which can be read and perhaps filed for later review.
1.5  Printing

     All hardware-specific codes have been removed from the output sent to the screen. 
This has the advantage that no matter what sort of printer or terminal/computer used, there
should be few problems printing the report.  Note that form-feed codes (CTRL-L) are used to
separate the pages.  Often this will automatically advance your printer to the next page, which
is just what is desired.  If not, you can edit and paginate as necessary, using any editor or
word processor.

     The output is formatted for 80 columns so a printer will be needed that can handle
output at least that wide.  Pagination is designed to be suitable for standard 11-inch paper, so
this will probably work with printer being used "as is".

1.6  Information Currency

     The PACER System runs on a computer which is separate from the main court
computer.  While this allows the courts to offer public service without slowing down the court
operations (and offers the potential to expand public service in the future), it does have a slight
penalty in information currency.  The inquiry computer is updated from the host computer
once a day.  This update will include all changes made the previous day, and will normally be
done early in the morning.

     Case filings and updates to the docket will typically not appear on the PACER system
until the day after they are entered on the main court computer.  Of course, technical
difficulties may cause delays which are somewhat longer.  If there is any major problem with
information currency, a message will appear on PACER when first signed on.

1.7  Cost

     The U. S. Congress has given the Judicial Conference of the United States, the judicial
governing body for the U.S. Federal Courts, authority to impose user fees for electronic access
to case information.  All registered agencies or individuals will be assessed the charge of $.60
per minute of access time.  PACER billing begins upon a successful login and fees accrue until
the session is terminated by the user or there is an abnormal exit.  An abnormal exit is defined
as turning off the modem in mid-transmission, losing the carrier, etc.

1.8  Billing

     The PACER Service Center sends quarterly statements.  The statement will be broken
down by court and individual login with a client code, time in, time out, and total time for
each transaction (Please note, the client code will not appear on the bill unless the user enters
it at the beginning of each session).  

     For your convenience, the PACER Service Center accepts payment by VISA,
MasterCard, and  check.  To make payment by credit card please contact the PACER Service
Center at 800-676-6856 and provide a customer service representative with the following
information:  login, credit card number, and expiration date.  If you make your payments by
check, please include your login on the check to ensure that payment is posted to the correct
account.  Mail payment to: PACER Service Center, P.O. Box 277773, Atlanta, GA 30384-7773.     If you believe there is an error on your statement, please write to the PACER Service
Center, P.O. Box 780549, San Antonio, Texas 78278-0549.  All requests for credit must be
submitted in writing.  In your correspondence, provide us with your name, account number,
and the dollar amount of the suspected error(s) together with a copy of the portion of the
statement in question highlighting the disputed amounts.  Please provide a reason for each
credit being requested.  When the PACER Service Center receives your request you will be
contacted by a representative.

1.9  Time Limits

     There is an "idle time" limit (how long the user can just let it sit there before it
complains) as well as a "session time" limit (how long the session can last).

     Session lengths vary as determined by the court.  Permission to re-dial the service is
allowed if more time is necessary.  In addition, the system will not allow a user to "do
nothing" for over a predetermined time by the individual court.  A warning will be displayed
when a limit is approaching.

 1.10Hot Key Exit

     For all courts except those identified as NIBS courts, the <Ctrl X> combination will
exit the system immediately. The <Ctrl X> key combination should work at all points within
PACER.  

1.11 Other Limits

     Other limits on what is available from this system may be possible as designed by the
court.  Also, there are limits built in as to the maximum number of people and cases allowed
to be matched at one time.  This should not be a problem, if a fairly complete name is entered
and searching  extremely common litigant names is avoided.

1.12 Access Sign Up

     In order to access the PACER system, contact the PACER Service Center to register
and receive a login/password for the system.

1.13 When?

     Dial-in to access electronic information is virtually around-the-clock.  Normally there
are several telephone lines available on an automatic rotary so busy signals should not be a
problem.

 1.14PACER Service Center Electronic Bulletin Board

     A PACER Service Center electronic bulletin board has been established.  This new
service (800 214-0847) available at no charge allows existing PACER registrants to dial in 24
hours a day, 7 days a week (your PC software should be set for 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
and RTS/CTS or NONE for flow control using 2400-baud modems or faster; 9600 baud
modems must be V.32 compatible).     PACER Electronic Bulletin Board User Options

2. PACER - U.S. DISTRICT COURTS

  2.1Understanding Case Numbers

     The district court uses four-part numbers.  A typical case number is as follows:

     "1:88cv12345"

       1:           88             cv        12345
     (Office       (Case      (Case          (Case
       Number)     Year)        Type)Sequence)

     If a court has more than one office (divisional offices), there will be an office code of
1.2.3 for each division.  All cases opened in a given year have the last two digits of the year as
the second part of the case number.  Next is the type, here "cv" for a civil case.  Finally, there
is an ascending sequence number, here "12345".  All four parts of the case number are needed
to uniquely identify a case in the court.

     Fortunately, if the case type or office is omitted on the PACER system, it will display
all cases which match the year and number entered.  The correct one can then be selected from
the list shown.

2.2  Understanding Docket Reports 

     If the user is not familiar with the docket reports, it may take a moment before the
format is recognized.  These reports were designed to be the official record of a case,
primarily used by individuals intimately familiar with the format.  In most courts you may
access civil as well as criminal docket reports.

     The typical docket report contains information obtained from the a Civil Cover Sheet
submitted by the plaintiff for each civil complaint filed.  The parties and counsel for each
party, including an address and telephone number, appears on the first page of the docket
report.

     Following a list of the participants in a case, a page break (using CTRL-L formfeed)
starts a fresh page for the listing of events in the case.

     Additional features of the docket report include

       Docket as of... -- this is the date and time the report was processed on the court's
       main computer.  If no recent updates have been made to the case, this date may be
       quite some time ago since it has not been necessary to reprocess the report when no
       updates have occurred.

       Nature of Suit: -- refer to the Civil Cover Sheet list for a complete explanation of
       the various codes used here.  Major categories include

       110-195 Contracts           610-690   Forfeiture/Penalty
       210-290 Real Property       710-790   Labor
       310-385 Torts                    820-840   Property Rights
       422-423 Bankruptcy               861-865   Social Security
       440-444 Civil Rights             870-875   Federal Tax Suits
       510-550 Prisoner Petitions

       Jurisdiction: -- The basis of jurisdiction that this complaint can be filed at the U.S.
       District Court.

       Cause:  -- The U.S. Civil Statute (in Title:Section format) under which the plaintiff
       files the complaint, as well as a brief description of the statute.

       Lead Docket: -- The case docket number of the lead case for associated or joined
       cases such as multi-district litigation cases (MDL) and associated cases.

       Dkt # in other court: -- The case docket number from another court; cases such as
       Bankruptcy Appeals, Removals from State Courts and transfers from other District
       Courts.

       Case Type:  -- The major category (Civil, Criminal, or Miscellaneous) and the sub-
       category, if any.

       [COR LD NTC] -- Stands for "Counsel Of Record", as well as "LeaD" attorney. 
       The "NTC" indicates this person will receive notices for the case.  Could also
       contain PRO SE, indicating a self-represented party.

       4/19/88 -- The left hand dates in the event list for the case indicate when each event
       was filed in the court.

       1 -- The sequence numbers which follow the left hand date are unique document
       numbers for each filing in the case record.  If a "--" appears, there is no document
       for the particular docketed entry.

       (eaf)  --  The initials of the court staff member who docketed the event.

       [Entry date 4/20/88] -- The date the event was electronically entered on the
       electronic docket; it appears only if the entry date differs from the filing date.

       [Edit date 4/25/88] -- The date this event was edited by the court staff.

     There may be additional codes or notations at the top right side of each docket page. 
These local court codes or words represent special case identifiers for court or case
management processing.
2.3 Understanding PACER District Court Release

     The current version of District Court  PACER will allow searches by filing date range,
expanded pick lists, and downloading by Kermit protocol.   Except for the main menu, ENTER is not
required after menu selections.  

     Please note: The Case Selection Screen will default to search by case number.  Press
ENTER with no case number to be placed at the Search Method Selection prompt where you may
change to a different search method or exit to the PACER Main Menu. 

2.3.1  Searching by Case Number

     The new version will initially prompt you with a case searching screen. This screen is used to
enter a district court four part case number to start the search for a specific case's docket report.  The
four part case number consists of divisional office code,  filing year, case type code and a sequence
number which may be up to five digits long. Only the year and sequential number are mandatory. 
 Examples of valid case numbers are as follows:  88- 1347 -or- 1  93  cv  12345.  If you use less than
the full four parts in your search and more than one case matches your clues, you will be shown a
pick list of cases and you may select the case you want from those listed.

     In criminal cases with multiple defendants, there is a separate docket report for each individual 
defendant plus a combined report for all defendants.  If you already know the defendant number of
the individual you are interested in, you may enter that number from this screen and bypass the
defendant selection step (e.g.,  1  95  m  623  3     -or-    1:96cr885-3).

     When you enter your search clues and press ENTER you will have one of five outcomes:

     1.   Case selected  -  You will be prompted as to how to view the docket report.
     2.   Case pick list  -  You will be given a choice of several cases that   matched your clues.
     3.   Defendant pick list  -  Your clues matched a multiple defendant criminal case so you will be given a chance to
     select the defendant you are interested in or all defendants.
     4.   Case not found  -  Your clues led to no matching stored case  number.  You will be able to try again from this
     selection screen.
     5.   Case number cannot be interpreted  -  Something in the way   you entered the case number is not understood
     by the program.   You may try again from this selection screen.

2.3.2  Searching by Party Name

     At the Search Method Selection Screen type "p" to search by party name.  When searching by
party name, your result will be one of the five outcomes previously stated except number five which
will be "No matching party found".
 
2.3.3  Searching by Filing Date

     At the Search Method Selection Screen type "f" to search by filing date. You will be prompted
for the from date range first, then the to date range.  The month, day and year may be separated by
spaces or slashes (e.g., 2 10 95 or 2-10-95 ). You may enter month/day/year, month/year or year as
your from date or to date clue.  If  both a from and a to date are entered, all cases filed between and
including those dates will be sought.  If only a from date is entered, then only that date is used for the
case search.  If only a from year or a from month/year is entered, cases filed during the range of a
whole year or a whole month are sought.  To retrieve cases filed on a specific date, enter the same
from and to date.

     Generally, the narrower the date range for the search, the shorter the pick list will be.   If you
do not wish to be scrolling through large numbers of cases in the pick list, you may wish to keep your
search date ranges narrow.

     When you enter your search clues and press ENTER your result will be one of the five
outcomes previously stated except number five which will be "Filing date cannot be interpreted."  

2.3.4  Pick Lists

     After a search has been performed a pick list will appear.  You may use a standardized set of
menu keys to locate the exact defendant you are interested.  These keys are the same keys used when
searching within the View Docket Report explained later in this document.  See Section 2.3.5
Viewing Docket below.

2.3.4.1  Case Number and Party Name Pick Lists

     The case number pick list appears in order by case number.  Party name pick lists will be in
alphabetical order.  To pick a specific case, use the scroll arrows to place the cursor on the desired
case and then press ENTER.  If the case you choose is a multiple defendant criminal case, you will
then be prompted to select a specific defendant.  Otherwise, depending on what is in the database,
PACER may display another pick list or the Docket Report Output Menu.

2.3.4.2  Filing Date Pick Lists

      When a case filing date search yields more than one case, the Filing Date Case Pick List is
displayed.  This list is in order by filing date and case number. 

2.3.4.3  Defendant Pick Lists

     When a criminal case requested has more than one defendant, the Defendant Pick List is
displayed.  This list is in order by defendant number.  Aliases are included in this list and are treated
the same way as regular names for selection purposes.  Duplicate defendant numbers indicate  aliases
of the same individual.  To pick a specific defendant use the scroll arrows to place the cursor on the
desired defendant and then press ENTER.

2.3.5  Viewing Docket

     When your docket report has been found by the retrieval system, you will be asked to enter
how you wish to handle the report.  The following is a brief explanation of the menu's options

 View report
     This option allows you to scroll through the whole report.  It features text searching and function keys to go
     directly to the beginning or end of the report.
     When you choose View report from the Docket Report Output Menu or you are searching for a particular case
     within a pick list, the following key commands will be available to you:
     ESC - Escape will take you back one screen
     E - Will take you back to the PACER Main Menu
     F - Move forward one screen at a time.
     B - Move backward one screen at a time
     L - Prompts you for line number to go to
     Arrows-Up/Dn - Moves report forward or backward one line.
     F1 will search backwards from the point of the cursor
     F2 - Prompts you for string search.  Once you have input a string to  search, ENTER will search for the string
     forward from the point of the cursor, F3 will clear the string and allow you to input another, and ESC returns
     without searching.

     F3 - Moves the cursor to the beginning of the report 
     F4 - Moves the cursor to the end of the report
View Recent entries
     This option gives you a quick display of the last twenty lines of the report.  After choosing this option, you will
     be prompted to turn your capture file on.
View First twenty lines
     This option displays the first twenty lines of docket report.
View Both first and last twenty lines
     This options displays the first and last twenty lines of the report.
List report non-stop
     This option will scroll the entire report across your screen.  It may be useful for very short reports or when you
      arecapturing your session to disk storage or printer.  After choosing this option, you will be prompted to turn
     your capture file on.
Download directly to disk file
     This option allows you to transmit the docket report file directly to your PC's disk storage.
Mark for later download to disk file 
     This option allows you to indicate a report file that you wish to download when you are finished searching for
     docket reports.  Report files marked for download will be handled when you exit back to the PACER Main Menu. 
     This option is similar to the Download option above with two exceptions:
     1.  A name prompt screen will appear for each file marked.
     2.  All criminal defendant reports marked for download, which are in the same case, will be grouped into one file.
ESCape This option will take you back to the previous pick list or screen.
 Exit  This option takes you to the PACER Main Menu. 

2.3.6  Downloading 

     The download menu appears when you:
     1.  select the D option on the Docket Report Output Menu, or
     2.  when you are exiting to the PACER Main Menu and have indicated that you wish to
     download previously marked docket reports.

     You have the choice of saving the file on your PC's disk with a system default name created
from the case number or entering a file name of your own. You may also press ESCAPE and not
download the report file.

     If more than one criminal defendant report in the same case has been marked for later
download, the  reports for that case will be grouped together into one file for downloading.  If you
want separate files for each individual defendant in a criminal case, you must use the D option on the
Docket Report Output Menu and enter unique names for each report file. 

     When you see the following message displayed on your screen you must invoke your
communications software's command to receive a file:
 
Saving file as: ************
File transfer protocol:  KERMIT
Now invoke your communications software's command to receive a file.

     The various communications software packages each have their own special command set.  
You will need to be familiar with the communications software you are employing.  PACER uses the
Kermit file transfer protocol for downloading.3. PACER - U.S. BANKRUPTCY COURTS

  3.1Understanding BANCAP Case Numbers

     When first accessing a court, a new user may not be familiar with the two-part bankruptcy
case numbers used.  All cases opened in a given year have the last two digits of the year as the first
part of the case number followed by an ascending sequence number.  Some courts have more specific
protocols for assigning case numbers.  Contact the court for information on court-specific numbering
schemes.

3.2  Understanding BANCAP Reports

3.2.1BANCAP Reports

     After connecting to PACER and entering the proper identification (id) and password, a menu
will appear listing the type of reports available in this court.  The following is a sample menu:

      1.Active Cases (basic case info., dockets, & registry of claims)
      2.Listing of New Cases
      3.Registry of Claims Only, by Claimant Name or Case Number
      4.Closed Cases (Archives - basic case information only)
      5.(Additional Listings & Services)
      6.Exit (logout)

The following is a brief summary of the various options, which are available on the Main Public
Access Menu:

     1.   Active Cases (Basic Case Info., Dockets & Registry of Claims)

       Provides options for pending and recently-closed cases, which comprise the BANCAP
       "LIVE" Data Base, to select by case number or participant name to gather case summary
       information and/or the last 3 months of case events (i.e., docket proceedings) and/or
       proofs of claims data.

     2.   Listing of New Cases

       Provides a listing, sorted by case number or by debtor's name, of recently-filed cases,
       which were opened on the BANCAP "LIVE" or "MEGA" Data Bases on the previous
       business day.  NOTE:  In the [V]iew option, press SPACE BAR to scroll forward.

     3.   Registry of Claims

       Provides options for pending and recently-closed cases, which comprise the BANCAP
       "LIVE" Data Base, to select by case number or participant name to gather proofs-of-claims
       information.

     4.   Closed Cases (Archives - Basic Case Info. Only)

       Provides options for cases, closed at least 2 months, which comprise the BANCAP
       "ARCHIVE" Data Base, to select by case number or participant name to gather case
       summary information and Federal Records Center information.

     5.   Miscellaneous Menu

       A. Change Password

          Provides Pacer users the ability to change their password periodically to insure their
          logins are secure.

       B. Session Information

          Provides a breakdown of the Pacer access sessions for a given period of time. 

3.2.2Sample Active Case Option

     The active case option asks three questions (see example below); if docket entries or the
registry of claims is to be accessed, respond "y" to the first question about basic case information. 
These reports were designed to provide concise standard summaries of the official case record;
however, not all the case docket entries necessarily appear.  The court controls how many months of
docket entries are available on PACER.  The following is a sample session:

     Enter name or number (RETURN to quit)
     -> 9030234

     Case 90-30234 was last updated on 6/22/90

     Would you like case information for 90-30234  (y/n)? y
     Would you like to see the docket proceedings (y/n)? y
     As of [date], there has been a total of [number] claims entered into the computer for this case.
     Would you like to see the registry of claims (y/n) y
4.  NIBS - NATIONAL INTEGRATED BANKRUPTCY SYSTEM

  4.1What is NIBS?
                                   
     NIBS (National Integrated Bankruptcy System)  allows outside access to a bankruptcy court's
computer system for information retrieval only.  The system will provide you with information on
bankruptcy or adversary cases.  You can also look up claims registers, court calendars, and attorney
information.  To look up information on a case you must call the office where the case was filed. 
NIBS and BANCAP PACER provide similar information.  A bankruptcy court will provide
electronic public access with one but not both.

  4.2Settings

     Standard settings for your PC software are: 8 Data bits, No parity, 1 Stop bit, RTS/CTS or
NONE for Flow Control and a 9600 Buad or faster modem.  The following terminal emulations are
acceptable:

  4.3Steps to Getting Access Using NIBS

     1. In some NIBS courts you will be asked to enter an additional password first.  This password
     is available from the PACER Service Center.  

     2. Choose your terminal emulation from the list provided.  Enter the number corresponding to
     the type of terminal, or terminal emulation, you are using and press the <Enter> key.  If you
     use numbers 2 to 29, see the following special key sequences:

          ESC<ESC><ESC>   HOME<ESC><H>
          UP ARROW<ESC><U> END<ESC><E>
          DN ARROW<ESC><D> PGUP<ESC><P>
        LEFT ARROW<ESC><L>    PGDN <ESC><N>
       RIGHT ARROW<ESC><R>

     Refer to these commands if your communication software package does not support the use of
     the <ESC>, <PgDn>, <PgUp>, <Arrows>, <Home> or <End> Keys.  The only
     condition is that you will need to reset the <ESC> key usage by your communications
     package.

     3.  The welcome screen will now be displayed.  After you have read the screen press any key
     to continue.

     4.  You are now at the billing information screen, please enter your PACER Service Center
     ID.

     5.  You will then be prompted to enter in your assigned password.  Please enter your PACER
     Service Center password and press enter.

     6.  At this point you have the option to enter in up to 12 characters to describe this session. 
     This information will be included on your billing statement.  For instance, you may wish to
     enter in a case number or name for in house billing.  You may also choose to enter in the
     name of the person accessing the system, for in house tracking of usages.

     7.  Strike a key and after a few moments, you will be given the NIBS System main menu
     screen.  A typical NIBS Main Menu will be similar to the following:

     A) Search by Case Number
     B) Search by Adversary Number
     C) Search by Party Name
     D) Search by SSN/TAX #

6. USING PACER, NIBS, ABBS

  6.1Connecting 

     To use this system, just follow the steps in this checklist.

     1.   Set up Equipment -- Follow the standard startup procedure for your PC.  Make sure your
          modem is turned on and plugged in to your computer and telephone line.  The user must
          communicate at 2400 or faster baud, 8 data bits, one stop bit, and no parity, with a few
          exceptions; this standard setup may already be the default for system being used.

     2.   Dial the Court's Computer Number -- Use the modem to dial the courts public access
          system.  A login prompt shortly after the connection is made should be received.  If the
          login prompt does not appear after connection, hit the <enter> key or send a break.

     3.   Log In -- Enter the user name and password provided by the PACER Service Center. 
          Logins should be entered in lower case letters.

     4.   Select a case or menu item as appropriate.

6.2  Getting Answers to Questions

     If there are questions about the information the court is providing (how far back does the data
go, how long does it take a motion filed to appear on this system, or a question about a docket entry)
contact the court directly.  If you would like access to a court that you are not currently registered,
contact the PACER Service Center to add the court to your current login.  

     Neither the PACER Service Center nor the court has the resources to provide extensive
technical assistance for trouble with a PC communicating, or other problems.    Please contact the
vendor or local systems technician if basic difficulties are occurring using a terminal or computer
equipment.7. TIPS FOR ELECTRONIC ACCESS

     There are a number of ways this public information program can be used to rapidly obtain
needed information.  Here are some special features and techniques which can save time and effort.

7.1  Case Number Wildcarding

     With PACER, the four parts of the case "number" (office, year, type, and number) are not
needed; only year and number are required.  The system will access the case or cases which match the
numbers entered, listing the choices for further selection.

     For example, case "88-12345" is desired, you can just type it in to the system that way.  If
there is more than one case with that year/number (for example, with different office codes, or with
different types), each will be listed for further identification.

  7.2Update Review

     Tracking several cases with a common participant.  If the electronic docket has been retrieved
during an earlier session, when accessing the case list (selecting by person), review the "last update"
date to see if there is any need for a new docket report.  If not, it is not necessary to retrieve a new
report.

  7.3Litigant Analysis

     This system can be used to learn more about other cases involving the same party.  For
example, if working on a suit against XYZ Corporation, a search of the corporate name can be done
to discover if anyone else is currently involved in a case with the same company.

7.4  Searching By Name

     The PACER system will search for a party in many ways.  It is helpful though, if the name is
requested the same way that it was entered on the computer.  Here are some ways to make this easier.

     In any court, there are a number of people who actually enter cases into the computer. 
Because of this, there can be some variations in how a name actually is entered, and several searches
may be necessary to find a party of interest.  For example, the United States Air Force could be
entered in several ways:

       United States Air Force
       U.S. Air Force
       U.S.A.F.
       Air Force

7.5  Common Names

     It is possible to look up a case with PACER using any of the parties in the case.  However,
names which represent very active litigants (such as "USA") are not a very good choice to search
with.  If using a party who is in too many cases, the system will spend a minute or two searching, and
eventually state that too many cases were selected.

     The solution is to use a more unique litigant to find the case of interest.  If, for example,
accessing a case of John Q. Watchburg vs. USA, do the search on the name "Watchburg" rather than
on the too common "USA".

  7.6Hanging Up the Phone Connection

     Please remember that your equipment is responsible for closing the communications with the
PACER system when you are through using it.  In some PC environments, such as Windows, it is
possible to go from one project to another without hanging up a COM line connection.  If you do
switch to another activity and the PACER system encounters some problem, your phone line could
still be engaged.  If this were a toll call, the "meter" might stay running on your call long after you
thought your session was complete.  Please be sure that at the end of each session you go back to the
main menu and choose the logoff option then hang up the line on your end.
  DIRECTORY OF ELECTRONIC PUBLIC ACCESS SERVICES
     to
    Automated Information in the United States Federal Courts
    Revised: March 1, 1998
    Directory available on the Internet: http://www.uscourts.gov/PubAccess.html
    
      The federal judiciary is now in its eight year offering various electronic public access services to federal
    court information.  These services continue to receive strong endorsements and have generated ever
    increasing demand -- more than seven million calls per year-- both from within the legal community and
    from other interested parties (viz., federal and state agencies, business and non-profit organizations, the
    press, and the public in general).  These services permit the public to gain direct, rapid, and easy access to
    official court information and records from outside the courthouse.  To date, the following services are
    being offered:
    
    U.S. Supreme Court Electronic Bulletin Board System:  Provides on-line access to the Court's
    automated docket, argument calendar, order lists, slip opinions, rules, bar admission forms and
    instructions, Court tour information, special notices and general information.  The automated docket
    posted on the BBS is current as of the preceding business day.  Slip opinions (the second version of an
    opinion which is issued in pamphlet form a few days after release of the Court's bench opinion, the
    opinion released immediately after an opinion is announced in open Court) and orders are posted within a
    few days after their release.  This BBS contains opinions issued during October Terms 1993, 1994, and
    1995.  Access to the BBS is presently provided at no cost.  
    
    U.S. Supreme Court Clerk's Automated Response Systems (CARS):  Permits caller using a standard
    touch-tone telephone to obtain the status of cases on the U.S. Supreme Court automated docket from an
    automated voice synthesizer response system.  Recording tells callers to press "1" for case information,
    "2" for Bar admission information, or "4" to speak to a clerk.  For best results, callers should have the
    Supreme Court docket number available when making an inquiry.  The case name can also be used. 
    Access to the CARS is currently provided at no cost.
    
    ABBS (Appellate Bulletin Board System):  All federal circuit courts now offer public users electronic
    access to appellate court decisions (slip opinions) and other court information such as court oral
    argument calendars, case dockets, local court rules, notices and reports, and press releases.  Most
    appellate courts have upgraded their systems and offer both slip opinions and case dockets on the same
    public access computer.  Information on these systems can be viewed on-line or downloaded into a user's
    computer.  In accordance with Judicial Conference policy, most circuits charge the $.60 per minute
      access fee for this service.  Persons desiring to use this service must first register with the PACER Service Center at 1-800 676-
    6856.  The federal courts continue to upgrade equipment and expand data retrieval options and reports. 
    In addition, more jurisdictions will be offering 800 lines in order to eliminate long distance toll charges.  
    Each court controls its own computer system and case information database; therefore, there are some
    variations among jurisdictions as to the information offered.  
    
    PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records):  PACER allows any user with a personal
    computer or word processor to dial-in to a district or bankruptcy court computer and retrieve official
    electronic case information and court dockets usually in less than a minute.  In accordance with Judicial
    Conference policy, most courts charge a $.60 per minute access fee for this service.  District PACER and
    BANCAP PACER each offer information in a different manner.  Some courts have a locally-developed
    public access systems.  These are referred to as NIBS or JAMS courts.  
    
    Persons desiring to use this service must first register with the PACER Service Center at 1-800 676-
    6856.  The federal courts continue to upgrade equipment and expand data retrieval options and reports. 
    In addition, more jurisdictions will be offering 800 lines in order to eliminate long distance toll charges.  
    Each court controls its own computer system and case information database; therefore, there are some
    variations among jurisdictions as to the information offered.
    
    Beginning November 17, 1997, a new public access service will be available.  The U.S. Party/Case
    Index will provide the capability to perform national or regional searches on party name and social
    security number in the bankruptcy index, party name and nature of suit in the civil index, and party name
    in the criminal and appellate indices.  The search will provide a list of case numbers, filing locations and
    filing dates for those cases matching the search criteria.  For more information on the U.S. Party/Case
    Index, please contact the PACER Service Center at 1-800-676-6856.  In accordance with Judicial
    Conference policy, most courts charge a $.60 per minute access fee for this service.  Persons desiring to
    use this service must first register with the PACER Service Center at 1-800 676-6856.  
    
    Electronic Filing & Attorney Docketing Service: This is a prototype service that has been operating
    since January 1, 1996 in the Northern District of Ohio, (OH-N, Cleveland), and since November 30, 1996
    in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, (NY-S, Manhattan).  Nine additional
    courts will begin prototyping this service during the fall, 1997.  These prototype electronic filing systems
    enable attorneys to electronically submit pleadings and corresponding docket entries to the court via the
    Internet, eliminate the need for court staff to handle paper documents or make docket entries, and
    provide instantaneous access to court records on the Internet.  The OH-N prototype contains over 7,000
    maritime asbestos civil cases, and the NY-S prototype contains approximately 70 major corporate
    bankruptcy cases and adversary proceedings.  The entire case file and official docket are available for
      viewing and  electronic downloading via the Internet.  Access to the information on this system is currently available at
    no charge; however, a Judicial Conference approved user fee may be applied in the future.  For more
    information, please contact Michael Greenwood, at the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, (202-
    273-2748).  To view the New York service, go to URL: www.nysb.uscourts.gov and select View Docket
    Sheet for a Live Case. 
    
    The PACER Service Center Electronic Bulletin Board has been established by the federal court's
    centralized registration and billing service in San Antonio, Texas.  This service is available at no charge
    (1-800-214-0847), and allows registrants to dial in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  To access the BBS
    your PC software should be set for 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and RTS/CTS or NONE for flow control
    using 2400-baud modems or faster; 9600 baud modems must be V.32 compatible.  The service: (a)
    provides an updated listing of courts serviced by the PACER Service Center, (b) automatically registers
    users for additional courts and changes passwords, (c) reviews the users billing history for all courts, (d)
    provides user manuals and status reports on each court's PACER system (e.g., courts with computer
    disruptions or other technical problems), and (e) allows users to leave messages and comments for
    PACER Service Center personnel.
    
    VCIS (Voice Case Information System) and AVIS (Appellate Voice Information System):  VCIS
    and AVIS use an automated voice response system to read a limited amount of bankruptcy or appellate
    case information directly from the court's database in response to Touch-Tone telephone inquiries. 
    Access to the VCIS and the AVIS is currently offered at no cost.
