Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in a civil
rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On June 12, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting return of original documents
that had been filed with the Court. (ECF No. 27.) Plaintiff states that he sent the
documents to the Court without making copies in an effort to respond expeditiously to
the Court’s order to show cause. The documents Plaintiff refers to appear at Docket
No. 26, pages 10-11, and consist of an envelope purporting to demonstrate that
Plaintiff’s initial response to the Court’s order to show cause was returned to Plaintiff
because it was mailed to the wrong address.
This is not Plaintiff’s first request for additional copies of documents sent to the
Court; it is his fifth. To the extent Plaintiff wishes to maintain copies of documents filed
with the Court, doing so is his own responsibility and it must be done at his own
expense. The Court cannot serve as a copying service for Plaintiff.

1

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion is HEREBY DENIED. Additionally, absent

2 extraordinary circumstances or other good cause, no further such requests will be
3 granted.
