I was bored the other day and apparently in my district(not Florida) Pro Se litigants may use efile, but if they don't then they must mail(paper).Thinking it through, while the 10th circuit Clerk had been e-mailing him copies of all documents, his only official contact method is the mailing address for a street that doesnt exist. That he affirmed in his final case filing in the 10th, that it was correct. What's going to happen? Is he going to be sitting waiting for the e-mail that never comes with a reply to his frantic filing? while the court mailings from Florida seeking to proceed the case bounce? And what happens then?
Florida looks like it's more tolerant and allows facsimile. So time for Russ to load the fax machine. But I expect the clerk in Florida would likely afford him the same email courtesy just so he doesn't have anything to complain about.
Not sure why he didn't just request electronic access, I think there's a process for it in pretty much every jurisdiction for pro se litigants.
