ORDER GRANTING PACER EXEMPTION
Pending before the Court is a Motion for Exemption of Pacer Fees filed Matthew Bober,
counsel for Plaintiff (Doc. 35). The Court finds that Mr. Bober, an appointed lawyer on a
prisoner civil rights case in this district, falls within the class of users listed in the fee schedule as
being eligible for a fee exemption. Accordingly, the motion is GRANTED.
Mr. Bober shall be exempt from the payment of fees for access via PACER to the
electronic case files maintained in this Court, to the extent such use is incurred in the course of
this action only. Mr. Bober shall not be exempt from the payment of fees incurred in connection
with other uses of the PACER system in this court. Additionally, the following limitations
apply:
1. This fee exemption applies only to Mr. Bober and is valid only for the purpose stated
above;
2. This fee exemption applies only to the electronic case files of this court that are available
through the PACER system;
3. By accepting this exemption, Mr. Bober agrees not to sell for profit any data obtained as
a result of having this exemption;
4. Mr. Bober is prohibited from transferring any data obtained as a result of receiving this
exemption;
5. This exemption is valid only until this action is terminated; and

6. This exemption may be revoked at the discretion of the Court at any time.
Mr. Bober must register for a separate pro bono account with PACER at www.pacer.gov.
After registering, the PACER Service Center will issue further written instructions to activate the
account. If needed, Mr. Bober may contact the PACER Service Representative at 800-676-6856,
Ext. 6442, for assistance.
The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to email a copy of this Order to the PACER Service
Center.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
