ORDER
Before the Court is the unopposed motion of pro se Defendant Michael J. Ryan, Esq., to
deem as timely filed his notice of adoption and joinder of another defendant’s motion to dismiss
(Doc. 58) and his motion seeking authorization to use the CM/ECF filing system (Doc. 59).
As to his notice of adoption and joinder (Doc. 53) of Defendants Bella Collina Property
Owners Assoc., Inc., David Burman, Aegis Community Management Solutions, Inc., Randall F.
Greene, Keith Clarke, and Paul Lebreux’s motion to dismiss (Doc. 48), Ryan submits that his
notice was untimely filed. (Doc. 58). He explains the delay like this: he had assumed that he
already had authorization to electronically docket his filings but that assumption was wrong; thus
he had to mail his notice to the clerk—a process that, of course, took much longer than electronic
submission and resulted in the notice being filed after the applicable deadline.
Upon due
consideration, pro se Defendant Ryan’s unopposed motion to deem his notice of adoption and
joinder timely filed (Doc. 58) is GRANTED.
As to Ryan’s motion to use the CM/ECF filing system, he represents that he has been a
member in good standing in the Southern District of Florida since 1976 and is familiar with the
federal ECF system. Accordingly, Ryan’s motion for authorization to use the CM/ECF filing
system (Doc. 59) is also GRANTED. See MIDDLE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR
ELECTRONIC FILING, at II.A.2. (June 5, 2015) (“A pro se litigant (i.e., an individual proceeding
without legal representation) is not permitted to file electronically, absent authorization by the
Court.”).
