ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR
COPY AND/OR RETURN OF EXHIBITS
PREVIOUSLY FILED WITH THE COURT
[ECF No. 69]
Plaintiff Hussein Ali Kietty is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On July 5, 2016, Plaintiff filed a request for a copy of the exhibits previously filed with the
20
Court in support of his opposition to Defendants’ motion to modify the scheduling order and motion
21
for summary judgment. (ECF No. 69.)
22
Plaintiff is advised that the Court does not ordinarily provide free copies of case documents to
23
parties. The Clerk of Court charges $.50 per page for copies of documents. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a).
24
Copies of up to twenty pages may be made by the Clerk Office at this Court upon written request and
25
prepayment of the copy fees. The fact that the Court has granted leave for Plaintiff to proceed in
26
forma pauperis does not entitle him to free copies of documents from the Court. Under 28 U.S.C. §
27
2250, the Clerk is not required to furnish copies without costs to an indigent plaintiff except by order
28
of the judge. Furthermore, there are numerous exhibits attached to Plaintiff’s opposition, including
1
1
several court orders, and Plaintiff does not reference which “exhibits” he seeks to obtain a copy of and
2
the Court cannot discern from the conclusory nature of Plaintiff’s motion which specific exhibits he is
3
requesting. Nor does Plaintiff indicate the reason why he is in need of a copy of such exhibits.
4
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion for a copy of legal documents is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
