Opinion
CASE NO: 06-22795-CIV-O'SULLIVAN [CONSENT].
October 30, 2008
ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff Virginia McLean's Motion for Permission to File Electronically (DE# 173, 10/29/08). Having reviewed the applicable filings and the law, it is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiff Virginia McLean's Motion for Permission to File Electronically (DE# 173, 10/29/08) is DENIED. Access to the filing component of CM/ECF is available to authorized attorneys admitted to the Southern District of Florida bar. Section 2C of the CM/ECF Administrative Procedures states that:
Pro se litigants will not be permitted to register as Users at this time. Pro se litigants must file their documents in the conventional manner. Pro se litigants may access the electronic record public counter in the Clerk's Office in all divisions or through PACER. Pro se litigants served and noticed by U.S. mail or in person (or, if agreed, by facsimile or e-mail).
(emphasis in original). As such, the instant motion is denied. Although the Court is sympathetic to Ms. McLean's position, the rules do not presently allow pro se parties to file motions using the Court's electronic filing system.
The Court encourages Ms. McLean to mail future filings to the Clerk's Office, have her husband deliver the documents or use a commercial messenger service.
DONE AND ORDERED.
