Plaintiff, Juan Chavez, is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil
rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 8, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting copies
of his and Defendants’ motions for summary judgment. (Doc. 46.) Plaintiff indicates that he was
transferred from California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility in Corcoran, California to Centinela
State Prison in Imperial, California. (Id.) Though his legal materials were transferred with him,
portions have been damaged and are no longer legible. (Id.) Plaintiff indicates that he requires copies
of the motions for summary judgment filed in this case to assess whether a settlement conference
would be beneficial. (Id.)
