Civil Action No. 16-1019

District Judge Mark R. Hornak

MEMORANDUM ORDER
Plaintiff has submitted for filing his response in opposition to Defendants’ Motion to
Dismiss for Lack of Prosecution. However, his submitted documents are non-compliant with the
Local Rules of the Western District of Pennsylvania. Specifically, these documents do not
comply with LCvR 5.1(A), which requires that all papers presented to the Court or to the Clerk
of Court for filing shall be on 8½ by 11 inch size paper, white in color for scanning and
electronic case filing. Plaintiff was previously informed on at least two prior occasions that his
filings did not comply with LCvR 5.1(A) (July 22, 2016 and August 22, 2016), and after taking
the time to resize all of his filings so that they could be filed, the Deputy Clerk warned him that
all future filings must be written on 8½ by 11 inch size paper. Plaintiff, however, continues to
ignore the Court’s warnings and our Local Rules.

1

This is the final time that the Court will resize documents filed by Plaintiff on the wrong
sized paper. If Plaintiff continues to file documents that do not comply with the Local Rules
then they will be returned to him without being filed. The following Order will now be entered.
AND NOW, this 17th day of March, 2017;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that all of Plaintiff’s future submissions must be presented
for filing in compliance with our Local Rules, and specifically Local Rule 5.1(A), a copy of
which is attached hereto.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any future filing by Plaintiff that is not in compliance
with Local Rule 5.1(A), no matter in what case, will be returned to Plaintiff along with a copy of
this Order.
