UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL CLARK,

Plaintiff,

v.

KATHLEEN ALLISON, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 2:22-cv-00190-KJM-JDP (PS)

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT’S 

MOTION FOR PERMISSION TO FILE 

DOCUMENTS ELECTONRICALLY

ECF No. 5

Plaintiff, who is proceeding without counsel, has filed a motion for permission to file 

documents electronically. ECF No. 5. Generally, “any person appearing pro se may not utilize 

electronic filing except with permission of the assigned Judge or Magistrate Judge.” E.D. Cal. 

L.R. 133(b)(2). “Requests to use paper or electronic filing as exceptions from these Rules shall 

be submitted as stipulations as provided in L.R. 143 or, if a stipulation cannot be had, as written 

motions setting out an explanation of reasons for the exception.” E.D. Cal. L.R. 133(b)(3).

Plaintiff’s does it demonstrate good cause for a departure from the normal filing procedure 

for unrepresented litigants. The motion is therefore denied. If the case proceeds and plaintiff has 

not abused the filing procedures, the court may entertain another motion.
