IN RE APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE ELECTRONIC PUBLIC ACCESS FEES BY HERBRINA SANDERS
ORDER DENYING LIMITED EXEMPTION
DEBRA M. BROWN, CHIEF DISTRICT JUDGE.
Herbrina Sanders seeks an exemption from the fees imposed by the Electronic Public Access fee schedule adopted by the Judicial Conference of the United States Courts to obtain case information from the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (“PACER”) service. According to her exemption request, Sanders is an adjunct professor at Emory University School of Law who is teaching a Human Sex Trafficking class in the fall of 2023 and trying to provide her students “with real-life examples of prosecutions to use in class.” Because Sanders requests an exemption through and until November 30, 2023-which date now has passed-the request is denied as moot. Should Sanders teach the sex trafficking class in the future and desire an exemption for the same purpose, she may reapply for the fee exemption.
SO ORDERED.
