UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
BARRY COLEMAN, 363101,
Petitioner,
v.
LLOYD RAPELJE, Warden,
Respondent.

CASE NO. 2:12-cv-11635
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
MAG. DAVID R. GRAND

Order Granting Respondent’s Ex Parte Motion
For Leave to File Exhibits In The Traditional Manner
Respondent seeks the Court’s leave to file a video of a police interview in the
traditional manner because the recording cannot be authentically converted to
electronic format. Pursuant to Rule 18(c) of the Electronic Filing Policies and
Procedures, a party may file an exhibit in the traditional manner if the exhibit is a
physical object that cannot authentically be converted to PDF format. The Court
agrees that the video recordings cannot be authentically converted to electronic
form as required by Rule 18(a). Therefore, the motion will be granted.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Respondent’s ex parte motion for leave to
file an exhibit in the traditional manner (Doc. #9) is GRANTED.
It is further ORDERED that Respondent must file the exhibit in the
traditional manner with the Clerk of the Court and deliver the Judge’s copy to
chambers.
