UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALISON HELEN FAIRCHILD,

Plaintiff,

v.

TONEY WAYNE MEREDITH, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:24-cv-01907-KJM-CKD (PS)

ORDER

Plaintiff Alison Helen Fairchild proceeds without counsel and seeks to participate in 

electronic case filing. (ECF No. 3.) “[A]ny person appearing pro se may not utilize electronic 

filing except with the permission of the assigned Judge or Magistrate Judge.” See E.D. Cal. L.R. 

133(b)(2). Plaintiff affirms understanding of the requirements for electronic case filing but does 

not provide good cause for deviance from the Local Rule. The request will be granted only in 

part, with respect to electronic service of documents. Plaintiff’s request to participate in electronic 

filing will be denied as to the request to use the CM/ECF system to file documents. The denial of 

this request is without prejudice to renewal at a later stage of the case. If plaintiff needs additional 

time to respond to filings due to lack of access to electronic filing, then plaintiff may request 

extensions of time as needed.
