Petitioner asserts that doing so would save him and his wife considerable time and costs associated with photocopying, serving and mailing his pleadings. Local Rule 133(b)(2)-(3) provide that a pro se litigant may not utilize CM/ECF without leave of court. Good cause appearing, the undersigned hereby grants petitioner's motion. 1 ORDER IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA RAYMOND CHRISTIAN FOSS, Petitioner, No. 2:09-cv-3551-JAM-JFM (HC)
