No. 2:17-cv-1446-GEB-EFB PS

v.

ORDER

BAYVIEW SERVICING, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff Harriet Stricklen, who is proceeding pro se, requests permission to file

17
18

documents electronically in this action. ECF No. 10. The Local Rules provide that “[a]ny person

19

appearing pro se may not utilize electronic filing except with the permission of the assigned Judge

20

or Magistrate Judge.” E.D. Cal. L.R. 133(b)(2). “Requests to use paper or electronic filing as

21

exceptions from these Rules shall be submitted as stipulations as provided in L.R. 143 or, if a

22

stipulation cannot be had, as written motions setting out an explanation of reasons for the

23

exception. Points and authorities are not required, and no argument or hearing will normally be

24

held.” E.D. Cal. L.R. 133(b)(3).
Plaintiff’s request does not indicate whether a stipulation to file electronically could be

25
26

had, nor does she demonstrate any need to file documents electronically. See generally ECF No.

27

10. Thus, plaintiff has not provided a sufficient basis for granting her request.
