Please be advised of a recent software update that may affect your receipt of the Court's Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs). Apple released iOS 18.2 in December 2024. Among its changes is the inclusion of Mail Categories to every iPhone's Mail app. These categories were intended to assist users in prioritizing their email messages. The Court has been made aware that emails sent via CM/ECF were automatically categorized as Updates and thereby filtered out of their inboxes. This categorization could result in the unintentional overlooking of important case-related notifications.
Users may modify their automatic categories or disable the categorization altogether. For more information on the software update and steps for overriding this new feature, please refer to this article from CNet.
