ORDER

This matter arises on Plaintiff Dennis Andrew Ball’s Motion for Exemption

of Pacer.com fees, docket # 13. Plaintiff requests a waiver of PACER (“Public Access to

Court Electronic Records” service) fees due to his in forma pauperis status.

Although district courts may allow indigent litigants to access PACER without

charge for good cause shown, see Electronic Public Access Fee Schedule (reprinted with 28

U.S.C. § 1914), district court did not abuse its discretion in rejecting plaintiff’s broad request

for access to PACER. Zied-Campbell v. Richman, 2009 WL 766493, * 3 (3rd Cir. 2009);

Givens v. City and County of San Francisco, 2009 WL 650264, (N.D.Cal. 2009) (request for

the waiver of PACER fees is denied); Freeland v. Sacramento City Police Dept., 2009 WL

545994 (E.D.Cal. 2009). “Plaintiff is not required to utilize the Court’s electronic filing

system, and nothing precludes him from filing paper documents with the Clerk’s Office or

Jayhawk Marina, Inc., 2009 WL 1226742, * 1 (D.Kan. 2009).

Good cause not appearing,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Exemption from fees for

accessing PACER is DENIED.

DATED this 12th day of June, 2009.
