E-filed on 8/23/07

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

RAFAEL DIAZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

SAFEWAY INC.; UNITED FOOD &

COMMERCIAL WORKERS UNION, and

DOES ONE through TWENTY,

Defendants.

No. C-07-01902 RMW

ORDER

Pro se plaintiff Rafael Diaz, concerned with delays in receiving court documents by mail,

requests that he be permitted to file electronically ("e-file") using the court's Electronic Court Filing

("ECF") system. To e-file, litigants must register to use the ECF and PACER systems. However, a

party proceeding pro se must secure an order from the judge assigned to the case permitting him to

register for ECF. Only once the order has been signed and appears on the docket for the case will a

pro se party be issued a password for ECF. Accordingly, plaintiff moves this court for an order

granting him access to ECF.

ORDER—No. C-07-01902 RMW

MAG 2

The court grants plaintiff's request for permission to e-file in this matter. Notably, this order

does not automatically register plaintiff with either ECF for PACER. Plaintiff should go to the ECF

site for the Northern District of California, https://ecf.cand.uscourts.gov/, and follow the instructions

for registration on that site. Plaintiff is further reminded that, even in e-filed cases, litigants are

required to submit a courtesy hard copy of e-filed documents to chambers, pursuant to General

Order No. 45 § IV(G), although they need not separately file a hard copy with the Clerk's Office.
