Opinion of the Court

ELECTRONIC CASE FILING SYSTEM (Doc. No. 58) FILED: February 24, 2023

THEREON it is ORDERED that the motion is DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, requests access to file electronically through the Court’s CM/ECF system. Doc. No. 58. On review, the request will be denied without prejudice. First, Plaintiff’s request fails to comply with the Local Rules, namely Local Rules 3.01(a), and 3.01(g). Second, pursuant to this Court’s Administrative Procedures for Electronic Filing, a party proceeding pro se is required to file all pleadings and other documents in paper format, absent authorization from the Court to file electronically.1 “While an unrepresented individual may obtain the Court’s permission to file his submissions electronically using the CM/ECF system, such authorization is typically denied unless the pro se party makes a showing of good cause or extenuating circumstances justifying such relief.” Hooker v. Wilkie, No. 8:20-cv-1248-T-02-CPT, 2020 WL 6947482, at *1 (M.D. Fla. June 4, 2020) (citations omitted). The instant motion (Doc. No. 58) is not sufficient to satisfy this standard. Plaintiff is advised that he may view documents and orders filed in this case at the Office of the Clerk of Court or for a fee by registering through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (“PACER”) service.
