Due to a total building power outage of the Dirksen Federal Courthouse most electronic services will be unavailable from Friday evening, July 25, 2014, 4:00 PM through, Sunday, July 27, 2014, approximately, 6:00 PM.

During this period access to a backup version of Electronic Filing will be available for reference only.  No docketing or claims processing of any type will be possible.

The court's usual Internet website will be down during this outage.  During the period of the power outage a backup or COOP website will be available to assist with access to the reference E-Filing resource and general court information.  Any bookmarks normally used may or may not work.  Please keep a copy of this message and use the following link to go directly to the reference E-File server:  https://ecf.ilnb.uscourts.gov

An e-mail message will be sent to all List Service subscribers when service is restored and an announcement will be posted on the Court's Internet site.

Thank you for your understanding.
