Defendants.

(ECF No. 41)

Plaintiff Gordon Bullock is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this action

19

alleging violations of 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 27, 2017, Plaintiff filed a motion to

20

compel access to the law library at his institution and requiring them to provide him with

21

copying services. (ECF No. 41.) Plaintiff contends that he requires access to the law library

22

because he has an initial scheduling conference on April 10, 2017. On the same date, Plaintiff

23

also filed his initial scheduling conference statement. (ECF No. 42.)

24

Plaintiff has already filed his initial scheduling conference statement in advance of the

25

April 10, 2017 scheduling conference. Plaintiff is not required to provide any additional copies

26

to the Court in preparation for this hearing. The Court does not expect and will not require any

27

legal argument by Plaintiff at the initial scheduling conference.
