IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALBERT POON, Case No. 1:10-cv-0028-AWI-JLT

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

LEAVE TO USE ELECTRONIC FILING

KERN COUNTY SHERIFF’S (Document 4) 

DEPUTY JOHN DOE, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Conduct All future

Proceedings by E-Filing. (Doc. 4.) 

Plaintiff states he currently resides in Hong Kong and that it is “almost impossible” to

obtain 8 1⁄2 by 11" paper, the standard used for filing in this Court, without difficulty and delay. 

He states that he has a Pacer account which allows him to file documents electronically with the

Court and seeks leave to make future filings by this method.

In general, Local Rule 133(b)(2) prohibits a pro se litigant to use electronic filing. 

Despite the reasons stated, it does not appear that Plaintiff has made a sufficient showing to

justify departure from this prohibition. Fed. R. Civ. P. (d)(4).
