Case No. 1:14-cv-01439-AWI-SKO (PC)

ORDER DENYING MOTION CONSTRUED 

IN PART AS REQUEST FOR RELIEF 

FROM STANDING ORDER IN RE: 

PROCEDURAL RULES FOR ELECTRONIC 

SUBMISSION OF PRISONER LITIGATION 

FILED BY PLAINTIFFS INCARCERATED 

AT CORCORAN AND PLEASANT 

VALLEY STATE PRISONS, WITH 

PREJUDICE

(Doc. 14)

Plaintiff Zane M. Hubbard, # F48741, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on July 21, 2014, in the United States District Court for 

the District of Columbia.

 Following transfer to this court, the action was dismissed on October 1, 

2014, and Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration was denied, with prejudice, on November 17, 

2014. On January 23, 2015, Plaintiff filed a sixty-four page motion entitled “Emergency Request 

for Relief, and Assistance in Filing Two Civil Rights Claims.” (Doc. 14.)

The Court previously considered Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration on the merits and 

the current motion presents no basis for any further relief in this action. Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(6); 

Local Rule 230(j). Instead, for reasons which are not clear, it appears that Plaintiff is seeking to

avoid compliance with the new rules for e-filing by sending documents for filing in this closed 

case, which is not subject to the e-filing rules. 

Plaintiff is incarcerated at California State Prison-Corcoran and he is subject to the

Standing Order In Re: Procedural Rules for Electronic Submission of Prison Litigation Filed by 

Plaintiffs Incarcerated at Corcoran and Pleasant Valley State Prisons, filed on October 1, 2014. 

Pursuant to the Standing Order, which applies to initial filings, (1) new complaints are subject to 

e-filing and they may not exceed twenty-five pages in length, and (2) motions for emergency relief 

are subject to e-filing and they may not exceed fifteen pages in length, as Plaintiff was correctly 

informed by prison staff. (E.g., Doc. 14, Motion, court record p. 5.) To the extent the motion is 

construed as seeking relief from the Standing Order, it is denied. Furthermore, to the extent 

Plaintiff is requesting the Court detach the complaint he included and open a new case, his request 

is denied. Plaintiff is required to comply with the e-filing procedures set forth in the Standing 

Order and there exists no legitimate basis for exempting him from compliance.

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion is HEREBY ORDERED DENIED, with prejudice. Any 

further filings the Court determines to be frivolous will be summary denied or stricken, whichever 

is deemed appropriate by the Court. See Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325, 109 S.Ct. 1827 

(1989) (frivolous filings lack arguable basis either in law or in fact).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
