GARY STEIN, United States Magistrate Judge:
The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff’s letters dated December 20, 2024 and December 28,
2024, which were filed on the docket on January 23, 2025. (Dkt. Nos. 69 & 70). In addition to
opposing Defendants’ motions to dismiss, Plaintiff indicates in these letters that he is expected to
be released from incarceration this coming Thursday, January 30, 2025 and then plans to travel to
Washington, D.C. and reside there. (Dkt. No. 69 at 2; Dkt. No. 70 at 2). If Plaintiff intends to
continue to pursue his claims in this action, he is directed to provide the Court with an updated
mailing address as soon as possible. Plaintiff is advised that, if he will have regular access to
e-mail and the internet, he may consent to electronic service of filings in this case as an alternative
to receiving filings in paper copy via mail. Plaintiff is directed to review the notice attached to this
Order for further information. If Plaintiff elects this option, he is directed to complete and submit
the electronic service consent form, which is also attached to this Order, as soon as possible.
It also appears that Plaintiff has been mailing his submissions to the Court’s general
address, rather than the Pro Se Intake Unit. So that his submissions may be more quickly
processed, Plaintiff is directed to use the following mailing address in the future:
Pro Se Intake Unit
500 Pearl Street, Room 205
New York, NY 10007
Plaintiff is further advised that, to the extent feasible, he may alternatively submit his filings by (i)
delivering them to the Pro Se Intake Office in-person during regular business hours; (ii) leaving
them in the depository box located in the lobby of the courthouse outside of regular business hours;
or (iii) by e-mailing them, in PDF format, to ProSe@nysd.uscourts.gov.
SO ORDERED.

Pro Se (Nonprisoner) Consent to Receive Documents Electronically
Parties who are not represented by an attorney and are not currently incarcerated may choose to
receive documents in their cases electronically (by e-mail) instead of by regular mail. Receiving
documents by regular mail is still an option, but if you would rather receive them only electronically,
you must do the following:
1. Sign up for a PACER login and password by contacting PACER 1 at www.pacer.uscourts.gov or
1-800-676-6856;
2. Complete and sign this form.
If you consent to receive documents electronically, you will receive a Notice of Electronic Filing by email each time a document is filed in your case. After receiving the notice, you are permitted one “free
look” at the document by clicking on the hyperlinked document number in the e-mail. 2 Once you click
the hyperlink and access the document, you may not be able to access the document for free again.
After 15 days, the hyperlink will no longer provide free access. Any time that the hyperlink is accessed
after the first “free look” or the 15 days, you will be asked for a PACER login and may be charged to
view the document. For this reason, you should print or save the document during the “free look” to
avoid future charges.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Under Rule 5 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Local Civil Rule 5.2, and the Court’s Electronic
Case Filing Rules & Instructions, documents may be served by electronic means. If you register for
electronic service:
1. You will no longer receive documents in the mail;
2. If you do not view and download your documents during your “free look” and within 15
days of when the court sends the e-mail notice, you will be charged for looking at the
documents;
3. This service does not allow you to electronically file your documents;
4. It will be your duty to regularly review the docket sheet of the case. 3
1 Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) (www.pacer.uscourts.gov) is an electronic public access service that
allows users to obtain case and docket information from federal appellate, district, and bankruptcy courts, and the PACER
Case Locator over the internet.
2 You must review the Court’s actual order, decree, or judgment and not rely on the description in the email notice alone.
See ECF Rule 4.3
3 The docket sheet is the official record of all filings in a case. You can view the docket sheet, including images of
electronically filed documents, using PACER or you can use one of the public access computers available in the Clerk’s
Office at the Court.
