UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ARCHIBALD CUNNINGHAM, 

Plaintiff, 

vs. 

MARIA SCHOPP, ET AL., 

Defendants..

CASE NO. 18-cv-5900-YGR 

ORDER GRANTING PERMISSION FOR 

ELECTRONIC FILING

Re: Dkt. No. 15,20 

Plaintiff Archibald Cunningham, appearing pro se, seeks permission of the Court to file 

electronically. (Dkt. No. 15, 20.) The Court has considered the Motion for Permission for 

Electronic Case Filing. Finding that good cause exists, the Motion is GRANTED. 

Plaintiff is directed to follow the instructions on the Court’s website regarding pro se 

litigants’ registration for ECF and PACER. (See http://cand.uscourts.gov/ECF/proseregistration.) 

After registering on ECF and PACER, Plaintiff must file a notice of ECF registration that plaintiff 

has made available an electronic mail address for service of papers electronically filed on the 

docket. Upon filing of such notice, the court will designate this action for the ECF program. 

Plaintiff must comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and all general orders and 

local rules pertaining to electronic filing including General Order 45 which requires in part that 

parties must provide the judge’s chambers with a paper copy of each document that is filed 

electronically, marked “Chambers Copy.” By registering, plaintiff accepts responsibility for all 

technical requirements and computer-related tasks associated with participation in the ECF 

program. 

In light of his pro se status, plaintiff may wish to seek assistance from the Legal Help 

Center. Parties can make an appointment to speak with an attorney who can provide basic legal 

information and assistance. The Help Center does not see people on a “drop-in” basis, and will 

not be able to represent parties in their cases. There is no charge for this service. To make an 

appointment with the Legal Help Center, you may: (1) sign up in person on the appointment book
