IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN PARLANTE,

No. CIV S-07-2502 LKK DAD PS

Plaintiff,

v. ORDER

KENNETH G. PETERSON, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

The pro se plaintiff in this case filed a motion for permission to file electronically. 

In a supporting affidavit filed on December 14, 2007, plaintiff stated that he has investigated this

court’s electronic filing requirements, that he has the necessary computer hardware and software,

that he will comply with all requirements concerning electronic filing in this court, and that he

agrees to file all documents in this case electronically. On the basis of plaintiff’s sworn

statement, the court granted plaintiff’s motion for permission to file electronically. The docket

reflects that plaintiff has been registered to file documents electronically and to receive service of

documents electronically. In violation of Local Rule 5-133, this court’s orders, and his own

affidavit, plaintiff submitted two paper filings to the Clerk on January 10, 2008.

As an electronic filer, plaintiff is not permitted to file any document in paper

format except by permission of the court obtained in advance. See Local Rule 5-133(b)(1) and

(3). A motion for permission to submit a paper filing must be filed electronically, and the

proposed paper filing may not be presented to the Clerk for filing unless and until the court

grants permission to submit such a filing to the Clerk. See Local Rule 5-133(b)(1). Permission

will be granted only in exceptional circumstances, and the decision to permit paper filing as an

exception to electronic filing is in the sole discretion of the court. Id. Plaintiff is cautioned that

permission to file electronically will be withdrawn if plaintiff fails to comply strictly with all

requirements regarding electronic filing.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the documents presented by

plaintiff for filing in paper format on January 10, 2008 will be disregarded, and the Clerk shall so

note on the docket.

DATED: January 11, 2008.
