December 11, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ENDORSED ORDER denying #6 Plaintiff's Motion for Permission to Electronically File Documents Using CM/ECF. This District's CM/ECF Administrative Procedures state that "[a]bsent a court order, a pro se litigant is not permitted to file documents in CM/ECF." Administrative Procedures for Electronic Filing, B(4), UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA (effective August 1, 2025). A pro se litigant may only obtain access to e-filing with a showing of good cause. See Fischer v. Dist. Sch. Bd. of Collier Cnty., No. 2:10-cv-512-FtM-29SPC, 2010 WL 3522215, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Sept. 7, 2010); Gerow v. Blackwell, No. 8:24-cv-02280-KKM-NHA, 2024 WL 4679030 (M.D. Fla. Nov. 5, 2024). Here, Plaintiff has not identified any specific circumstance in this case constituting "good cause" for e-filing access. See Fischer, 2010 WL 3522215, at *1. The Court will, however, permit Plaintiff to receive documents via email rather than by U.S. Mail, as the considerations discussed above do not apply to a pro se party's means of receiving documents. If Plaintiff desires to receive service of documents via email instead of physical mail, Plaintiff may file a notice indicating consent to receive service of documents via email and providing the email to which documents should be served, on or before January 12, 2026.
