MINUTE ORDER. Before the Court is Plaintiff's #7 Motion for E-Filing Privileges. Under Local Civil Rule 5.4(b)(2), such a motion by a pro se party must "describ[e] the party's access to the internet, confirm[] the capacity to file documents and receive filings electronically on a regular basis, and certify[] that [the party] either has successfully completed the entire Clerk's Office on-line tutorial or has been permitted to file electronically in other federal courts." LCvR 5.4(b)(2). An exhibit attached to Plaintiff's Motion shows that Plaintiff was permitted to file electronically in another federal court. The exhibit also includes a certification that Plaintiff had internet access and the ability to e-file documents as of August 2023. But the Motion and exhibit do not describe Plaintiff's current access to the internet or confirm his current "capacity to file documents and receive filings electronically on a regular basis." Id. Those requirements are important because a "pro se party who obtains a CM/ECF password consents to electronic service of all documents, subsequent to the original complaint, that are filed by electronic means." Id. 5.4(b)(6). The party is then "responsible for monitoring [his] e-mail account[], and, upon receipt of notice of an electronic filing, for retrieving the noticed filing." Id. The Court thus needs to be sure that Plaintiff can reliably access electronic filings.The Court therefore DENIES Plaintiff's Motion without prejudice. Plaintiff is welcome to file a renewed motion that complies with Rule 5.4(b)(2). Any renewed motion does not need to be elaborate. It simply needs to address each of the Rule's requirements. Signed by Judge Ana C. Reyes on 8/9/2024. (lcar3)

MINUTE ORDER. Before the Court is Plaintiff's #4 Motion for CM/ECF User Name and Password. Under Local Civil Rule 5.4(b)(2), such a motion by a pro se party must "describ[e] the party's access to the internet, confirm[] the capacity to file documents and receive filings electronically on a regular basis, and certify[] that [the party] either has successfully completed the entire Clerk's Office on-line tutorial or has been permitted to file electronically in other federal courts." Plaintiff's Motion does not satisfy these requirements, and the Court therefore DENIES it without prejudice. Plaintiff is welcome to file a renewed motion that complies with Rule 5.4(b)(2). Notwithstanding the denial of his Motion, the Court thanks Plaintiff for pointing out a typo on this District's website, which the Court has asked the Clerk to correct. Signed by Judge Ana C. Reyes on 7/26/2024. (lcar3)
