Defendant.

This matter is before the court on Plaintiff Gregory Kelly’s Second Motion for Pro Se

13

Litigant to File Documents Electronically (ECF No. 17) (“Second Motion”). This Second Motion

14

is referred to the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and LR IB 1-3 of the Local

15

Rules of Practice.

16

In September 2017, Mr. Kelly filed his first motion asking the court to allow him to use

17

the CM/ECF system to file, access, and electronically serve documents in this case. See ECF

18

No. 3. The court conditionally granted the request and instructed him to complete the CM/ECF

19

tutorial by January 29, 2018. January 8, 2018 Order (ECF No. 14). However, days earlier, the

20

district judge stayed the case pending resolution of the bankruptcy proceedings or an order lifting

21

the automatic stay. January 5, 2018 Order (ECF No. 13). Thus, Mr. Kelly did not complete the

22

CM/ECF tutorial.

23

On April 12, 2018, Kelly filed a Motion to Vacate Stay (ECF No. 15) and Notice of

24

Bankruptcy Dismissal (ECF No. 16) indicating that the bankruptcy case is now closed. He also

25

filed the Second Motion (ECF No. 17) renewing his request to file electronically.

26

Having reviewed and considered the matter, and good cause appearing,
