as being eligible for a fee exemption. Accordingly, Connor M. Oehmke hereby is
exempted from the payment of fees for access via PACER to the electronic case files
maintained in this Court, to the extent such use is incurred during this action only.
Connor M. Oehmke shall not be exempt from the payment of fees incurred in
connection with other uses of the PACER system in this Court. Additionally, the
following limitations apply:

3. 	by accepting this exemption, counsel agrees not to sell for profit any data
obtained as a result of receiving this exemption;
4. 	counsel is prohibited from transferring any data obtained as a result of
receiving this exemption;
5. 	this exemption is valid for one year or until this action is terminated,
whichever occurs first. Counsel may move for an extension prior to expiration,
if needed. In addition, the Court retains discretion to revoke this exemption
status at any time.

system will default to exempt status upon login. Counsel will need to toggle
the exemption off if working outside of this case. If needed, counsel may contact
the PACER Service Representative at 800-676-6856, for assistance.
The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to email a copy of this Order to the PACER
Service Center.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
