The federal PACER and electronic filing services are down again!?!?!

I just received this note from an experienced federal practitioner:

Doug, you may want to post a PSA. The national server for the federal courts is down. I just confirmed with the clerk at the Fourth Circuit. So no or limited access to PACER and ECF nationwide (had attorneys in Texas and Washington confirm that it wasn’t just Ohio).  If someone needs to file, they should call the clerk’s office immediately to get an email address to submit. Apparently another DOS attack like last Friday.  I wonder if related to yesterday’s vote on the Smarter Sentencing Act and DOJ’s new clemency outreach?

Just used the Ninth Circuit pacer and CM/ECF, as well as the national pacer, and all seemed to be working well.

It appeared to only be down for a short-time this morning, as opposed to last week's several hours at the end of the day.
