Case 4:5-cv-03227 Document 06 Filed in TXSD on 05/26/6 Page of EXHIBIT UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION JOSE IRAHETA, Plaintiff, vs. CIVIL ACTION H-5-3227 LINEBARGER GOGGAN BLAIR & SAMPSON, LLP, ET AL., Defendants. ORDER Plaintiff Jose Iraheta is appearing in this case pro se. He is currently not permitted access to the Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system and does not receive electronic notice of court filings or rulings. Because Iraheta is on active military duty that requires frequent travel, he sometimes does not receive court filings promptly. Iraheta's inability to file electronically or to receive electronic notifications is hindering the efficient management of this case. It is therefore ordered that the clerk shall provide all assistance necessary to allow Iraheta to make electronic filings and receive electronic notifications from the court. Iraheta's email address is irahetaj@gmail.com. Signed at Houston, Texas on May 26, 206. United States District Court Southern District of Texas ENTERED May 26, 206 David J. Bradley, Clerk Iraheta's initial request for CM/ECF access was denied (Dkt. 5). Circumstances have changed since that time. Iraheta's position was reiterated in a recent filing (Dkt. 02).
