IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

FRANKLIN H. WRIGHT, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

BRIAN STRETCH, et al., 

 Defendants. 

________________________________/ 

No. C 16-505 CW 

ORDER DENYING 

MOTION FOR 

PERMISSION TO EFILE 

(Docket No. 10) 

FRANKLIN H. WRIGHT, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

THOMAS E. PEREZ, et al., 

 Defendants. 

________________________________/ 

No. C 16-513 CW 

(Docket No. 13) 

Plaintiff Franklin H. Wright moves for permission to use the 

Court's Electronic Case Filing (ECF) program. Having considered 

the papers filed by Plaintiff, the Court DENIES Plaintiff's 

motions for permission to use ECF, without prejudice. 

Civil Local Rule 5-1(b) provides, "All cases, except sealed 

cases, are designated for participation in the Court's Electronic 

Case Filing ('ECF') system. . . . However, [a] pro se party may 

not file electronically unless the pro se party moves for and is 

granted permission by the assigned judge to become an ECF user in 

that case." The Court's website provides a list of technical 

requirements for using ECF. It is not clear from Plaintiff's 

motions that he meets the requirements.

The Court DENIES Plaintiff's motions for permission to use 

ECF (Case No. 16-505, Docket No. 10; Case No. 16-513, Docket No. 

13). However, if Plaintiff satisfies all the technical 

requirements listed at 

http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/ECF/proseregistration, Plaintiff may 

refile the motion using the sample available on the website. The 

Court notes that, if it approves ECF participation, Plaintiff 

would be permitted to use ECF only for the cases in which the 

motions are granted. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
