Gibson v. Bank of America, N.A.
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA FORT MYERS DIVISION
RAYMOND GIBSON,
Plaintiff,
v. Case No.: 2:24-cv-952-SPC-KCD
BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.,
Defendant. / ORDER Plaintiff Raymond Gibson, proceeding without a lawyer, moves for access to the Court’s electronic filing system. (Doc. 11.) The motion is DENIED. “Pro se litigants are generally denied access to electronic filing unless extenuating circumstances exist to justify waiving CM/ECF procedures.” Huminski v. Vermont, No. 2:13-cv-692-FtM-29,
2014 WL 169848, *4 (M.D. Fla. Jan. 15, 2014); see also McMahon v. Cleveland Clinic Found. Police Dep't,
455 F. App'x 874, 878(11th Cir. 2011) (affirming denial of CM/ECF access for pro se litigants). No extenuating circumstances have been shown (or even argued) here. To the extent Plaintiff believes electronic filing will help him access documents in the case, he can already submit documents electronically through the Web Portal on the Court’s website at https://www.flmd. uscourts.gov/electronic-document-submission-web-portal. In short, the functionality Plaintiff seeks is already available through the Court’s available
resources. ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on October 21, 2024.
