On August 15, 2013, Helena Jones, wife of Plaintiff William Jones, Sr., filed a request for a

19

review of the Court’s security film for July 24, 2013. (Doc. 70). Ms. Jones, who is not a party to this

20

action, asserts review of the film footage is necessary to establish that she and Plaintiff filed Plaintiff’s

21

initial disclosure at the courthouse in this action on that date, because she did not see the filing on

22

PACER. Id.

First, Mrs. Jones is not a party in this case and lacks standing to file motions in this action.
Second, Plaintiff’s filing was filed on July 23, 2013 and is reflected on the docket at entry number 69.1

the proceeding or the court orders filing: depositions, interrogatories, requests for documents or tangible things or to permit
