ORDER DENYING EX PARTE REQUEST

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

United States District Court

11
For the Northern District of California

12 13 14

The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff's ex parte request to be relieved of the electronic

15 filing requirements of the Northern District of California. The Electronic Case Filing system 16 that the Court now uses is standard in federal courts nationwide. Its use is not complex, and 17 is a baseline aspect of federal practice today. Although the Court is sympathetic to Plaintiff's 18 counsel's request, the Court will not relieve Mr. Green of the obligation to use the ECF 19 system. Information regarding its use, including links to websites for free conversion of 20 documents to Adobe Acrobat format, is available on the Court's website at 21 https://ecf.cand.uscourts.gov/cand/index.html . If Mr. Green and his staff are unable to 22 perform the tasks necessary to practice in federal court under the ECF system, then the Court 23 advises Mr. Green to associate with co-counsel capable of meeting this basic requirement. 24 25 IT IS SO ORDERED. 26 27 Dated: April 24, 2009 28 THELTON E. HENDERSON, JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
