v.
ADAMS, et al

Case No. 1:09-cv-00205-LJO-SMS (PC)
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION FOR RETURN OF
ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS
(Doc. 318)

Defendants.
On February 5, 2016, Plaintiff, Barry Louis Lamon, filed a motion requesting that the

17

original documents he filed on or about January 3, 2016, be returned to him. (Doc. 318.) Upon

18

review of the docket, the only item filed by Plaintiff around January 3, 2016 which included

19

exhibits, was his motion for temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction, filed on

20

January 5, 2016. (Doc. 307.)

21

Plaintiff was cautioned, when he filed this action in 2009, that he should not send originals

22

of documents to the Court. (See Doc. 3, 1st Info O.) Plaintiff is on notice that the Court is not a

23

repository for the parties’ evidence and that any documents he submits to the Court will be

24

scanned into the docket and periodically thereafter will be summarily destroyed. In this instance,

25

it happens that the original documents Plaintiff seeks have not yet been destroyed. Thus, they

26

will be returned to Plaintiff this one time. However, the Court is under no obligation to return

27

documents to parties who did not submit a self-addressed-stamped-envelope for that purpose. An

28
1

1

exception will be made for Plaintiff just this once. Plaintiff is admonished not to submit

2

originals to the Court unless expressly ordered to do so. All further originals submitted to

3

the Court will be destroyed.

4

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that Plaintiff’s motion for return of his original

5

documents submitted with his motion for a temporary restraining order, filed on February 5, 2016

6

(Doc. 318), be GRANTED and the Clerk’s Office is DIRECTED to return the documents that

7

Plaintiff filed as exhibits to his motion for a temporary restraining order (Doc. 307) to Plaintiff.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
