Jones et al v. Bank et al

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
MICHAEL J. JONES and
TAMERA A. JONES,
Plaintiffs,
v. No. 2:25-cv-00472-MLG-GJF
PIONEER BANK et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING IN PART MOTION FOR ELECTRONIC FILING
Pro se Plaintiffs move the Court for permission to file and receive documents by electronic
mail. See Motion for Permission to File and Receive Service by Electronic Mail, Doc. 87, filed
February 5, 2026.
The Court grants Plaintiffs’ Motion in part. Plaintiffs may file documents electronically
using the Court’s case management and electronic case filing application (“CM/ECF”) which
allows the Court to file, maintain, and retrieve case file information. The Court denies Plaintiff’s
Motion to file documents via email without using CM/ECF.
In addition, the Court grants Plaintiffs permission to file electronically in this case only.
See Guide for Pro Se Litigants at 13, District of New Mexico (October 2022) (“approval to
electronically file documents within a case must be granted by the presiding judge for each case
in which the pro se litigant wishes to file using their CM/ECF account”). Plaintiffs are cautioned
that the Court will revoke permission to file electronically if Plaintiffs abuse their electronic filing
privilege or fail to comply with the rules and procedures in the District of New Mexico’s Guide
for Pro Se Litigants and the District of New Mexico’s CM/ECF Administrative Procedures

Finally, this Order only grants Plaintiffs permission to participate in CM/ECF; Plaintiffs

Manual, District of New Mexico (Revised June 2024).
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ Motion for Permission to File and Receive Service by
Electronic Mail, Doc. 87, filed February 5, 2026, is GRANTED in part as follows: Plaintiffs may
file documents electronically using CM/ECF. The Court denies Plaintiffs’ request to file
documents via email without using CM/ECF.
SO ORDERED.
