UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
OCALA DIVISION
JOHN WESTLEY,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No: 5:17-cv-60-Oc-CEMPRL

GREGORY N. HULTMAN, ON TOP OF
THE WORLD CONDOMINIUM
ASSOCIATION, INC., ELIZABETH V.
CUTTER, MERRILL LYNCH,
COLDWELL BANKER REAL ESTATE

Defendants.

ORDER
This matter is before the Court for consideration of pro se Plaintiff’s Motion for Electronic
Filing (Doc. 8), in which Plaintiff requests permission to electronically file and to respond to
opposing parties using the Court’s CM/ECF system.
As a preliminary matter, the Court notes that the district judge recently entered an order to
show cause why this case should not be transferred to the Tampa Division.

(Doc. 12).

Consequently, in light of the pending order to show cause, and this Court’s Administrative
Procedures for Electronic Filing which state that a pro se litigant is not permitted to file
electronically, absent authorization by the Court, Plaintiff’s motion (Doc. 8) is due to be DENIED
without prejudice at this time. Plaintiff may renew his request once it is resolved whether the case
will remain in this division or whether it will be transferred to the Tampa Division.

DONE and ORDERED in Ocala, Florida on February 27, 2017.
