ORDER reserving ruling 1 Motion Request for Pacer Exemption By JUDGE NANCY TORRESEN. (MMB)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MAINE
IN RE:

Application for Exemption
from the Electronic Public Access Fees
by Brian Johnson, Applicant

2:17-mc-92-NT

ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon a request by Dr. Brian Johnson for an
exemption from the fees imposed by the Electronic Public Access Fee Schedule
adopted by the Judicial Conference of the United States Courts. Pursuant to the
Electronic Public Access (EPA) Fee Schedule, courts may exempt certain individuals
or groups when the applicant demonstrates that an exemption is necessary in order
to avoid unreasonable burdens and to promote public access to information. Dr.
Johnson’s request does not provide enough information for this Court to determine
whether an exemption is necessary. Therefore, the Court hereby reserves decision
on the application and orders Dr. Johnson to provide the Court with additional
information in support of his request no later than May 20, 2017.
Dated this 1st day of May, 2017.

U.S. Chief District Judge
