John Michael Crim (“Plaintiff”) is a former federal prisoner proceeding pro se and in
20
forma pauperis with this civil action. This case was dismissed on July 21, 2017, for Plaintiff’s
21
failure to comply with a court order. (ECF No. 100.) On July 24, 2017, Plaintiff filed a motion
22
for permission to file documents electronically, using the court’s electronic filing system
23
(ECF). (ECF No. 104.)
24
Under Local Rule 133, “Any person appearing pro se may not utilize electronic filing
25
except with the permission of the assigned Judge or Magistrate Judge. All pro se parties shall
26
file and serve paper documents as required by applicable Federal Rules of Civil or Criminal
27
Procedure or by these Rules.” L.R. 133(b)(3). Pro se parties seeking leave to file documents
28
electronically must “submit requests as stipulations as provided in L.R. 143 or, if a stipulation
1
1
cannot be had, as written motions setting out an explanation of reasons for the exception.
2
Points and authorities are not required, and no argument or hearing will normally be held.
3
Requests may also be made in scheduling conference and pretrial conference statements when
4
the need can be foreseen.” L.R. 133(b)(3).
5
Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se in this action, has filed a motion in which he
6
“requests this Court to grant him permission to file electronically with the ECF system.” (ECF
7
No. 104.) However, Plaintiff has not set out any explanation of the reasons the court should
8
allow him to file documents electronically. Therefore, Plaintiff’s motion must be denied,
9
without prejudice to renewing the motion.
10
11
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for permission to file
documents electronically, filed on July 24, 2017, is DENIED without prejudice.
12
13

15
IT IS SO ORDERED.
