10-11-11 Table 2: Calendaring at the US District Court under PACER and CM/ECF
Table 1 []
provided a list of all US district courts, and examined public access to Calendars of the courts in the various district courts.
Table 2
further examines the integrity of the Calendars in US district courts where public access is permitted. In each of the US district courts, listed below, where public access to Calendar Event Reports was permitted, further analysis included the following steps: 1) From the Reports pull-down menu, the Calendar Events option was selected. 2) General (non case-specific) Calendar Events report was downloaded for the dates of November 10, 2010 through November 12, 2010. Therefore, each of the cases listed in the Report had a least “ Calendar Event” on these dates. 3) Case-specific Calendar Events Reports were consequently downloaded for up to ten (10) cases, which had been identified in the general Calendar Events Report in each US district court, for the period of 1/1/2002 through 11/12/2010. 4) Data, as found in the case-specific Calendar Events Reports of the individual cases, were extracted and tabulated in
Table 2
. In none of the US district courts listed below, was any other way was found for public access to Calendars of the Courts, except for the Reports, described above.

Table 2: Data extracted from Calendar Reports of selected cases at US District Courts - A. Arizona, B. California Southern, C. Illinois Central District, D. Massachusetts, and E. New York Southern District
Date was extracted from Calendar Reports in US District Courts, where access is provided. Uniformly, access was limited. In no case was a full calendar of the litigation accessible. Moreover, even in District Courts where access is permitted, some cases, listed below, which were not sealed, had no calendar listed. Of particular interest in this regard is the case of SEC v Bank of America Corporation ( ) at the US District Court, Southern District of New York, where no Calendar was accessible for the caption, opined as Fraud on the Court in a paper submitted for peer review in an international law journal.
