Plaintiff,

ORDER

CITY OF VALLEJO, et al.,

Defendants.

17
18

On May 12, 2017, plaintiff, who proceeds without counsel, filed a stipulated request to

19

allow plaintiff to utilize the court’s electronic filing system. (ECF No. 30.) Local Rule 133

20

provides that “[a]ny person appearing pro se may not utilize electronic filing except with the

21

permission of the assigned Judge or Magistrate Judge…All pro se parties shall file and serve

22

paper documents as required by applicable Federal Rules of Civil or Criminal Procedure or by

23

these Rules.” E.D. Cal. L.R. 133(b)(2). Here, plaintiff’s stipulated request does not set forth a

24

compelling reason why the court should deviate from the Local Rules and its standard practice of

25

disallowing the use of electronic filing by pro se litigants.

26
27

Therefore, the stipulated request (ECF No. 30) is DENIED.
