Case No.: 1:10-cv-01250-SAB (PC)
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S EX-PARTE
APPLICATION FOR COPY OF COURT DOCKET
[ECF No. 87]

Plaintiff Sylester Williams is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action

18

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the parties have consented to the

19

jurisdiction of the United States Magistrate Judge. Local Rule 302.

On December 1, 2014, Plaintiff filed an ex-parte application for documents. Plaintiff requests
a complete printout of all the documents that was sent and received.
To the extent Plaintiff requests a complete copy of the court docket in this case, in the interest

23

of justice, the Court will send Plaintiff a courtesy copy of the docket. However, Plaintiff is advised

24

that it is his responsibility to retain any and all copies of documents filed and received pertaining to

25

this case. In addition, the Clerk of Court does not ordinarily provide free copies of case documents to

26

parties. The Clerk charges $.50 per page for copies of documents. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). Copies

27

of up to twenty pages may be made by the Clerk’s Office at this Court upon written request and

28

prepayment of the copies fee. The fact that the Court has granted leave for Plaintiff to proceed in
1

1

forma pauperis in this action does not entitle him to free copies of documents. The Clerk is not

2

required to furnish copies without cost to an indigent plaintiff except pursuant to court order. 28

3

U.S.C. § 2250.
Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall send Plaintiff

4
5

one complete copy of the court docket in this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
