UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION

ALEXANDER R. CIFUENTES,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No: 6:25-cv-1651-JSS-LHP

MSC INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY CO., INC.,

Defendant

ORDER Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Register for CM/ECF Access (Pro Se). Doc. No. 9. On review, the motion is due to be denied without prejudice. First, the motion fails to comply with Local Rule 3.01(a). Second, “[w]hile 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-02CPT,

, at *1 (M.D. Fla. June 4, 2020) (citations omitted). Here, Plaintiff makes no such showing. Doc. No. 9. Accordingly, the motion (Doc. No. 9) is DENIED without prejudice. That said, “the Court in its discretion may grant a pro se party permission to receive electronic notifications.” See Moore v. Adventist Health Sys. Sunbelt Healthcare Corp., No. 6:23-cv-1163-PGB-DCI,

, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 3, 2023). The Court finds it appropriate to exercise such discretion here. See id.; see also Cromity v. City of Orlando, No. 6:24-cv-1688-CEM-DCI,

, at *1 (allowing service of court documents on pro se party by email); Wilkins v. RCI, LLC, No. 6:23- cv-849-PGB-EJK,

, at *1 (M.D. Fla. May 15, 2023) (same). Therefore, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to add Plaintiff's email address, [email protected], to CM/ECF and ensure that Plaintiff receives Notices of Electronic Filings. DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on October 10, 2025.
