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.
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.
