On April 28, Magistrate Judge Patrick Auld denied my request for electronic filing, stating I had to first prove I could follow basic court procedures—despite my extensive experience litigating in electronic systems and my documented disabilities.
TEXT ORDER denying without prejudice 4 Motion for Authorization to File Electronically. Electonic filing requires compliance with numerous rules and procedures. If Plaintiff demonstrates over the initial course of this litigation that she can comply with the rules of procedure and practice established by this Court’s Local Rules and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court will entertain a future motion from Plaintiff for permission to file electronically. Issued by MAG/JUDGE L. PATRICK AULD on 04/28/2025. (AULD, L.) (Entered: 04/28/2025)
That denial forced me to file two additional motions: one renewing my request for electronic access directly to the district judge, and one seeking Judge Auld’s recusal under § 455(a) due to clear bias and unequal treatment. His refusal to acknowledge my prior compliance and the burdens imposed—both logistical and financial—mirrored the same discriminatory patterns I’ve faced for nearly a year, and I won’t tolerate that in federal court too.
