RAYMOND GIBSON, Plaintiff, v. BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., Defendant.
ORDER
KYLE C. DUDEK, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff Raymond Gibson, proceeding without a lawyer, moves for access to the Court's electronic filing system. (Doc. 11.) The motion is DENIED. “Pro se litigants are generally denied access to electronic filing unless extenuating circumstances exist to justify waiving CM/ECF procedures.” Huminski v. Vermont, No. 2:13-cv-692-FtM-29, 2014 WL 169848, *4 (M.D. Fla. Jan. 15, 2014); see also McMahon v. Cleveland Clinic Found. Police Dep't, 455 Fed.Appx. 874, 878 (11th Cir. 2011) (affirming denial of CM/ECF access for pro se litigants). No extenuating circumstances have been shown (or even argued) here. To the extent Plaintiff believes electronic filing will help him access documents in the case, he can already submit documents electronically through the Web Portal on the Court's website at https://www.flmd. uscourts.gov/electronic-document-submission-web-portal. In short, the functionality Plaintiff seeks is already available through the Court's available resources.
ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on October 21, 2024.
