Unrepresented individuals:

Pro se litigants can visit our Self Representation page for information about how to file. Whenever possible, filings should be submitted through EDS.

Alternatively, pro se litigants may file documents with the Clerk of Court either in person or by mail at one of the following addresses:

Clerk of Court, EDPA
James A. Byrne U.S. Courthouse
Room 2609
601 Market Street
Philadelphia, PA 19106

Clerk of Court, EDPA
Edward N. Cahn U.S. Courthouse & Federal Building
504 W. Hamilton Street
Allentown, PA 18101

Do not send documents directly to the District Judge or Magistrate Judge assigned to your case.

Do not send multiple copies of your filings. A single copy is all that is needed.

If a pro se litigant would like permission to file documents through the CM/ECF electronic filing system, the litigant must file a motion seeking permission from the Judge assigned to the case. See Local Rule 5.1.2(4)(b).

Attorneys:

With a select few exceptions, attorneys are required to file all other documents through CM/ECF, pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Guidance on filing through CM/ECF can be found at https://ecf.paed.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/ShowIndex.pl

Information on these requirements and this process can be found here.
