ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Plaintiff’s Motion for
Reconsideration of Order Denying Pro Se Access to Electronic Filing [Doc.
21].
The Plaintiff seeks reconsideration of the Court’s Order denying her
access to electronic filing. Electronic filing is available only to attorneys
who have been admitted to the Bar of this Court. Attorneys are required to
take a course before utilizing the ECF system.

These restrictions are

necessary to ensure that the system is used in an appropriate manner.
While the Court understands that the costs incurred in manual filing may be
burdensome considering the Plaintiff’s limited financial resources, such
expenses are “simply unavoidable.” Reid v. State of North Carolina, No.

3:09-cv-541-RJC-DCK, 2010 WL 890263, at *5 (W.D.N.C. Mar. 8, 2010)
aff’d sub nom. Reid v. North Carolina, 382 F. App’x 258 (4th Cir. 2010).
IT

IS,

THEREFORE,

ORDERED

that

the

Plaintiff’s

Motion

for

Reconsideration of Order Denying Pro Se Access to Electronic Filing [Doc.
21] is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
