Pro Se TCPA Plaintiff Is Denied Privileges to File Electronically

U.S. District Judge Chad Bryan for Middle Alabama in Montgomery denied the Feb. 23 motion of pro se Telephone Consumer Protection Act plaintiff Lee Cunningham for permission to file documents electronically in his case against Southern Power, said his order Wednesday (docket 2:22-cv-00621). Middle District of Alabama civil administrative procedures require pro se plaintiffs to file signed paper originals, said his order. Cunningham’s motion said he was being “unfairly prejudiced” by not having electronic filing privileges. Cunningham’s complaint alleges he was “intentionally, knowingly and/or willfully harassed and abused” by Southern Power’s incessant debt-collection calls. (see 2210200064). Southern Power denies the allegations.
