UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
______________________________________________________________________________
LINDA REED,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 18-cv-263-pp

COMMON BOND, LLC. and
COMMONBOND HOUSING,
Defendant.
______________________________________________________________________________
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S LETTER MOTION TO RECEIVE
DOCUMENTS BY EMAIL (DKT. NO. 37)
______________________________________________________________________________
The court has received a letter from the plaintiff, asking that the court
send her documents via email, rather than on paper, through the postal
service. Dkt. No. 37. She says that seeing pages of papers with writing on both
sides is “too much,” that she can’t comprehend that much information at one
time and that she needs to break down information into portions that she can
“work with and see.” Id. She indicates that email will help her with her
organization. Id.
The court will deny the plaintiff’s motion. The court regrets that the
plaintiff struggles with comprehending information on paper. But with
hundreds of cases and thousands of motions on the court’s docket, it cannot
create a different rule for the plaintiff than it imposes on other parties who are
representing themselves. If the plaintiff ever needs more time to understand the

1

documents the court sends, or to respond to deadlines, she may ask the court
for additional time.
The court DENIES the plaintiff’s letter motion to receive documents by
email. Dkt. No. 37.
Dated in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this 10th day of May, 2019.
BY THE COURT:
