UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION

RODERIC BOLING,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No: 6:21-cv-129-WWB-LHP

CITY OF LONGWOOD, MASON ROTHENBURG, B. RACINE, KRISTOPHER BURNAM, DAVID DOWDA and KEVIN SHEA,

Defendants

ORDER This cause came on for consideration without oral argument on the following motion filed herein: MOTION: PRO SE PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO SUBMIT CASE FILINGS UTILIZING PACER ELECTRONIC CASE FILING SYSTEM (Doc. No. 58) FILED: February 24, 2023

THEREON it is ORDERED that the motion is DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, requests access to file electronically through the Court’s CM/ECF system. Doc. No. 58. On review, the request will be denied without prejudice. First, Plaintiff’s request fails to comply with the Local Rules, namely Local Rules 3.01(a), and 3.01(g). Second, pursuant to this Court’s Administrative Procedures for Electronic Filing, a party proceeding pro se is

required to file all pleadings and other documents in paper format, absent authorization from the Court to file electronically.1 “While an unrepresented individual may obtain the Court’s permission to file his submissions electronically using the CM/ECF system, such authorization is typically denied unless the pro se

party makes a showing of good cause or extenuating circumstances justifying such relief.” Hooker v. Wilkie, No. 8:20-cv-1248-T-02-CPT,

, at *1 (M.D. Fla. June 4, 2020) (citations omitted). The instant motion (Doc. No. 58) is not

sufficient to satisfy this standard. Plaintiff is advised that he may view documents and orders filed in this case at the Office of the Clerk of Court or for a fee by registering through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (“PACER”) service.

1 The Court’s Administrative Procedures for Electronic Filing can be found on the Court’s website, www.flmd.uscourts.gov, under “Filing a Case” and then selecting “Administrative Procedures for Electronic Filing (PDF).” DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on February 27, 2023.
