Opinion


MARY A. JASSO, et al., Plaintiffs, v. CITIZENS TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA, INC., et al., Defendants. CIV. S-05-2649 GEB PAN PS United States District Court, E.D. California. February 9, 2006

          ORDER

          PETER NOWINSKI, Magistrate Judge.

         Plaintiffs, who proceed in pro se, seek permission to file their papers electronically. E. D. Cal. L. R. 5-133(b)(2). Plaintiffs assert they "live over 5 hours away and filing in person is impossible and the mail takes quite a long time to get papers from here to the court to be filed." Plaintiffs have nonetheless timely filed multiple briefs on all pending matters. Moreover, most of plaintiffs' briefs exceed 25 pages in length, with attachments or exhibits in excess of 50 pages, thus triggering the requirement that courtesy copies be delivered to chambers within one business day even if the originals were e-filed. E. D. Cal. L. R. 5-133(b)(2).

         As plaintiffs have presented no compelling reason to deviate from the general rule requiring pro se litigants to file their documents in person or by mail, plaintiffs' request is denied.

         So ordered.
