NextGen Information

NextGen Information Preparing for NextGen E-filers must do the following in order to file in NextGen: Obtain your own individual PACER account (link is external) or upgrade your existing individual PACER account (link is external). Please follow these instructions. Know your current FLSD CM/ECF login and password (if unknown, reset password). Link your PACER account with CM/ECF. Please follow these instructions CJA Panel Attorneys CJA Panel Attorneys CJA Panel Attorneys will need only one PACER account for filing and viewing in NextGen. If you have a separate exempt CJA account now, those exempt privileges will need to be added to your individual upgraded PACER account. Upgrading Your Pacer Account NextGen CJA Instructions CJA Navigating from NextGen to CurrentGen CM/ECF NextGen Activating CJA Privileges Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if I have an upgraded PACER account? Upgraded PACER accounts have usernames that are at least 8 characters. You may have upgraded your PACER account recently if you practice before another court that already has migrated to NextGen, such as the Eleventh Circuit. If your username is 6 characters, you do not have an upgraded account. Go to https://www.pacer.gov/ and click on Manage My Account to upgrade your PACER account. What happens to my CM/ECF account after the court transitions to NextGen? After the Court upgrades to NextGen, you will link your current CM/ECF account to your PACER account. After the accounts are linked, you will no longer use your CM/ECF username or password to file in this Court. My law firm uses a shared PACER account. Can we continue to use that account? Not for e-filing. Each attorney must have an individual PACER account to use for electronic filing in NextGen. The law firm can create a PACER Administrative Account (PAA) to manage the billing for all of the individual accounts. Staff members who share a PACER account for read-only access may continue to share an account. I linked my account when the Court of Appeals or another District or Bankruptcy Court converted. Do I have to link my account again? Yes, once Florida Southern District Court is live on NextGen, you must link your PACER account to your Southern District of Florida District Court CM/ECF filing account before you can file in this Court. I am a CJA attorney, and I currently have two PACER accounts. Will I continue to need two accounts with NextGen? CJA Attorneys will only need one PACER account for filing and viewing in CM/ECF NextGen. If you have a separate exempt CJA account now, those exempt privileges will be added to your individual upgraded PACER account; and your current exempt account will be canceled. About NextGen The Federal Judiciary has developed a Next Generation (NextGen) Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system that will allow attorneys to use the same account for both PACER and electronic filing access. The District Court for the Southern District of Florida plans to implement NextGen on January 27, 2020. The username and password that an e-filer currently uses to access the Court's CM/ECF system will not work with NextGen. Instead, an e-filer will be required to use an individual PACER login and password for access to the electronic filing system. What Is New For Attorneys In NextGen: Central Sign-On allows attorneys to maintain one account across all NextGen courts (appellate, bankruptcy, and district). What this means is that attorneys will be able to use one login and password to access all NextGen courts where they have permission to file, as well as to access PACER for all courts. Notices Please check this page often for the most recent information for the Southern District of Florida's migration to NextGen. 10-25-2019 Press Release: NextGen ECF is coming January 27, 2020 10-28-2019 First Notice - email to attorneys 11-18-2019 Second Notice - email to attorneys 12-16-2019 Third Notice - email to attorneys 1-13-2020 Fourth Notice - email to attorneys 1-17-2020 Fifth Notice - email to attorneys Help For assistance with creating a PACER account, please contact PACER at 1-800-676-6856 or visit the PACER website at https://www.pacer.gov/. For assistance with your current CM/ECF login and password or linking your account after the Court transitions, contact the Court’s CM/ECF Help Desk at 888-318-2260, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time), Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Holidays.

GPO Secures Spot on Forbes' America's Best Employer List for Third Year in a Row

WASHINGTON —The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has been named one of the best employers in America by Forbes for the third year in a row. GPO ranked in the top 15 amongst mid-sized agencies in Government Services. GPO joined the National Archives and Records Administration and Federal Communications Commission in the category for best Government agencies. Forbes’ America’s Best Midsize Employers 2024: https://www.forbes.com/lists/best-midsize-employers/?sh=5b0a304f210f “For three years in a row now, our teammates have rated GPO highly on this survey and landed GPO on America’s best employer list,” said GPO Director Hugh Nathanial Halpern. “Our team is full of top-notch craftspeople and professionals who embrace and carry out GPO’s values. GPO is a special place to work, and it’s all thanks to them. We look forward to continuing to take pride in our work and work together toward our common vision of an America Informed.” GPO is working to build its team of the future with its Apprenticeship and Recent Graduate programs. In fiscal year 2023, GPO onboarded 190 teammates, 41 percent more than it did in the prior fiscal year. The Agency also produced a record number of passports in one year—more than 22 million—all while delivering products and services for all three branches of the U.S. Government. Forbes and Statista selected America’s Best Employers 2024 based on results found through an independent survey of more than 170,000 U.S.-based workers at America companies. The evaluation was based on respondents who were asked to rate their employer and if they would recommend their employer to others. Organizations with 1,000 to 5,000 employees were deemed midsize employers. Responses were given by current employees, employees who had worked for the company within the past two years, and individuals familiar with the company through friends, family or peers in their industry. GPO is the Federal Government’s resource for publishing trusted information for the Federal Government to the American people. The GPO is responsible for the production and distribution of information products and services for all three branches of the Federal Government, including U.S. passports for the Department of State as well as the official publications of Congress, the White House, and other Federal agencies in digital and print formats. GPO provides for permanent public access to Federal Government information at no charge through www.GovInfo.gov and partnerships with approximately 1,100 libraries nationwide participating in the Federal Depository Library Program.

Fort Pierce is a place of incredible natural beauty and vibrant community spirit, and our mission is to protect and enhance it for everyone to enjoy. For too long, we’ve seen litter and waste bringing the city down and harming the natural beauty. But we’re here to change that with real solutions that bring the community together to make a lasting impact. Introducing the "Keep Fort Pierce Beautiful - Our City. Our Responsibility." education campaign on littering and recycling. Through this campaign we seek to inform and educate our community about the harms of litter and how you can play an active role in making our city cleaner and more beautiful than ever before. Every Piece of Litter Counts We believe every resident and visitor should experience the full beauty of Fort Pierce. Litter and waste should never stand in the way of community pride and safety. A cleaner city fosters stronger neighborhoods, a healthier environment and welcomes economic opportunities. Every small action – from picking up a piece of litter to joining a clean-up event – adds up to big change. Clean-Up Made Simple: We know your time is valuable. That’s why we offer straightforward resources and easy-to-join events that genuinely make it fun and easy to become part of the community. We offer the Adopt-A-Road Program, Quarterly Community Cleanups and the Annual Great American Cleanup Event. Through your participation in these programs, you can request free supplies such as buckets, trash bags, vests, pickers, and gloves. Helping our city stay clean has never been easier. See it. Collect it. Report it. Whenever you see litter, help by collecting it into a trash bag and dispose of it properly. Make sure to report it through our Litter Cleanup Report Form. So that we can track our impact, recognize you for your hard work and so that you can also request trash bag removal. Partnership Opportunities.
