MARGARET M. O'REILLY, Plaintiff, v. MEDICAL FACILITIES OF AMERICA and RIVERSIDE HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER, Defendants.
ORDER
Kyle C. Dudek United States Magistrate Judge
Pro se Plaintiff Margaret M. O'Reilly moves for access to the Court's electronic filing system. (Doc. 19.) The motion is DENIED. “Pro se litigants are generally denied access to electronic filing unless extenuating circumstances exist to justify waiving CM/ECF procedures.” Huminski v. Vermont, No. 2:13-cv-692-FtM-29, 2014 WL 169848, *4 (M.D. Fla. Jan. 15, 2014); see also McMahon v. Cleveland Clinic Found. Police Dep't, 455 Fed.Appx. 874, 878 (11th Cir. 2011) (affirming denial of CM/ECF access for pro se litigants). No extenuating circumstances have been shown (or even argued) here. To the extent Plaintiff believes electronic filing will help her access documents in the case, she can already submit documents electronically through the Web Portal on the Court's website at https://www.flmd. uscourts.gov/electronic-document-submission-web-portal.
ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida this October 1, 2024.
