V. OCHOA, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Keith Bulkin (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

20 pauperis in this civil rights action. On November 13, 2013, the Court issued a screening order
21 dismissing Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend. On December 19, 2013, he filed his First
22 Amended Complaint (“FAC”). The FAC is currently pending screening by the Court.
23

On January 27, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion to have copies of the FAC served on

24 Defendants. Plaintiff’s motion will be denied as it is premature to serve Defendants with a copy
25 of the FAC. The Court must first screen the FAC. If the FAC is screened and the Court
26 determines that service is appropriate, the Court at that time will provide Plaintiff with the
27 appropriate forms to complete.
28

Also on January 27, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting a copy of page 17 of the

1

1 FAC. Plaintiff states he received a conformed copy of the FAC from the Court, but the copy was
2 missing page 17.

Plaintiff states he does not have a copy of page 17 for his records.

3 Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion will be granted and the Clerk of Court will be directed to provide
4 Plaintiff with a copy of page 17 of the FAC.
