Plaintiffs file a second request to file electronieally. Docket 16. In considering the request

to electronically file, the court reviewed HoIIi Lundahl's filing activity in the other cases in this
district. The Honorable Roberto A. Lange in the Central Division of the United States District
Court for the District of South Dakota granted Holli Lundahl permission to file in the CM/ECF

system. See Telford v. Department ofHousing and Urban Development, et al. Civ. 16-3033. The
Honorable Jeffrey L. Viken in the Western Division of the United States District Court for the
District of South Dakota denied HoIIi Lundahl permission to file in the CM/ECF system. See

Telford v. Bradeen, et al.. Civ. 17-5042, Docket 10. In denying Holli Lundahl's request. Judge
Viken stated.

In reviewing plaintiffs filing activity in her Central Division case, the court finds

plaintiffs filing practice was abusive of the judicial process. Plaintiff filed briefs
violating the local rules on the length of briefs, D.S.D. Civ. LR 7.1(B)(1). See Civ.

16-3033 Dockets 11, 137 & 144. Plaintiff consistently filed attachments violating
the local requirement that attachments are "only those excerpts of[a] referenced
document that are directly germane to the matter under consideration by the court."
D.S.D. Civ. LR 7.1(B)(2)(emphasis added); see, e.g.. CIV. 16-3033 Dockets 66-1,
74-3, 127-3 & 143-1. Based on plaintiffs disregard for the local rules in CIV 163033, the court denies her motions to file in CM/ECF for this case.

CIV. 17-5042, Docket 10. After consideration of the motion, together with Holli Lundahl's other
litigation in this district,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs Second Request To File Electronically (Docket 16) is
denied.
