Plaintiff states he currently resides in Hong Kong and that it is "almost impossible" to obtain 8 ½ by 11" paper, the standard used for filing in this Court, without difficulty and delay. He states that he has a Pacer account which allows him to file documents electronically with the Court and seeks leave to make future filings by this method. In general, Local Rule 133(b)(2) prohibits a pro se litigant to use electronic filing. Despite the reasons stated, it does not appear that Plaintiff has made a sufficient showing to justify departure from this prohibition. Fed. R. Civ. P.
