IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH HOLDER, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

BRUCE MCPHERSON, as California Secretary

of State, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 06-02923 SBA

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT’S EXPARTE REQUEST TO EXEMPT

DEFENDANT FROM ELECTRONIC

FILING REQUIREMENTS

On July 3, 2006, Traci L. Witry, counsel for defendant Theresa Nagel—Clerk, Recorder, and

County Election Official for Lassen County, filed an Ex-Parte Request to Exempt Defendant from

Electronic Filing Requirements ("Request") which is now before the Court. In the Request, Ms.

Witry advised the Court that she is unable to comply with the electronic filing requirements because

she cannot access the electronic filing system, as her application to be admitted in the United States

District Court for the Northern District of California is still being processed.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Ms. Witry's Request is DENIED because Ms. Witry is not

currently admitted to practice before this Court. When and if her application to be admitted in this

Court is approved, she should be able to access the electronic filing system, as needed.

In the interim, defendant Theresa Nagel should consider whether or not to retain another

attorney, who is admitted to practice before this Court, in order to avoid any prejudice that might

result from her current counsel's inability to participate in proceedings before this Court.
