RONALD OLAJIDE,

No. 2:17-cv-02168-TLN-KJN (PS)

Plaintiff,

v.

BROWN, et al.,

14

ORDER

Defendants.

15
16

Plaintiff, who proceeds pro se, has requested permission to utilize the court’s electronic

17

filing system. (ECF No. 2.) Local Rule 133 provides that “[a]ny person appearing pro se may

18

not utilize electronic filing except with the permission of the assigned Judge or Magistrate Judge.

19

. . . All pro se parties shall file and serve paper documents as required by applicable Federal Rules

20

of Civil or Criminal Procedure or by these Rules.” E.D. Cal. L.R. 133(b)(2). Here, plaintiff’s

21

request does not set forth a compelling reason why the court should deviate from the Local Rules

22

and its standard practice of disallowing the use of electronic filing by pro se litigants.

23

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
Plaintiff’s motion to utilize the electronic filing system (ECF No. 2) is DENIED.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
