Anthony Washington, proceeding pro se, sought access to the Court's CM/ECF electronic filing system. The court denied his motion without prejudice because he failed to demonstrate good cause or extenuating circumstances required for such relief.
A pro se party seeking permission to file electronically using the CM/ECF system must demonstrate good cause or extenuating circumstances to obtain such authorization. Washington's motion failed to meet this burden and was therefore denied.
“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.”
Establishes the legal standard that pro se parties seeking CM/ECF access must demonstrate good cause or extenuating circumstances
