District Judge Cathy Bissoon
Chief Magistrate Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan
ORDER
The Court has received a facsimile from Petitioner dated October 8, 2012.

He was advised that he must file documents in paper format.
Petitioner is again advised that he must file his documents with the Court in paper format and that any future failure to abide by the filing rules of this Court will result in the imposition of sanctions, which could include dismissal of this action for failure to follow Court orders.
