Case No. 1:01-cv-06365-LJO-JLT (PC)
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION
TO WAIVE COST OF COPY OF DOCKET

COOPERS, et al.,
Defendants.

(Doc. 28)

This action was closed almost thirteen years ago. (Docs. 23, 24.) In April, Plaintiff

17

requested a copy of the docket in this action from the Clerk of the Court which was responded to

18

by requiring Plaintiff to pay a minimal charge to obtain the copies and mail it to him. (Doc. 28,

19

pp. 3-5.) On May 11, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting that the cost for a copy of the

20

docket in this case be waived. (Id.) Plaintiff claims that he needs the docket in order to know

21

what occurred in this case “in order to gain access to this Court.” Id. at 2. The Court cannot

22

fathom Plaintiff’s meaning and he fails to explain. Because the Court can discern no legitimate

23

purpose for obtaining the copy of the docket, other than idle curiosity, the request to waive the fee

24

is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
