**Announcement**
There is a problem with Cm/Ecf working with the recently released Java 18 update and versions of Internet Explorer 7 and lower. Although, the Java 18 update is supposed to work with IE8, we have had isolated instances where it hasn't worked. Our recommendation is to not install the Java 18 update. Filers who miss deadlines because of this technical failure, should refer to Sixth Circuit Rule 25(h)(2).
