Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
CITY OF VALLEJO, et al.,

Defendants.

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.
