Filing 18

ORDER denying without prejudice 17 Motion for Permission to use CM/ECF. Signed by Magistrate Judge Philip R. Lammens on 3/20/2017. (JWM)

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
LLC and FLORIDA ATTORNEY
GENERAL OFFICE
Defendants.

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on pro se Plaintiff’s recently filed pleading entitled,
“Plaintiff Good Cause Showing.”

(Doc. 17).

Within that document, for the second time,

Plaintiff requests permission to electronically file and to respond to opposing parties using the
Court’s CM/ECF system, and that request has been referred to the undersigned for consideration.
(Docs. 8, 14 & 17).
As I previously observed, the district judge entered an order to show cause why this case
should not be transferred to the Tampa Division. (Doc. 12). Once again, in light of the pending
transfer issue 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 to file electronically (Doc. 17) 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 March 20, 2017.

Counsel of Record
