ELECTRONIC FILING ( (Doc. No. 36)
FILED:

THEREON it is ORDERED that the motion is DENIED without

CM/ECF system. Doc. No. 36. “While an unrepresented individual may obtain
the Court’s permission to file his submissions electronically using the CM/ECF
system, such authorization is typically denied unless the pro se party makes a
showing of good cause or extenuating circumstances justifying such relief.”
