Case No. 1:14-cv-01609-DLB PC
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION FOR COPY OF COMPLAINT
AND DOCKET REPORT
(Document 12)

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff Earl J. Robbins (“Plaintiff”) is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se and in

17
18

forma pauperis in this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed his complaint on

19

September 23, 2014, and it was transferred to this Court on October 15, 2014.
On March 11, 2015, the Court screened Plaintiff’s complaint and dismissed it with leave to

20
21

amend. On March 30, 2015, the Court granted Plaintiff an extension of time. It also granted

22

Plaintiff’s request for a copy of his original complaint.

23

Plaintiff filed his First Amended Complaint on April 1, 2015, and it is awaiting screening.

24

On July 2, 2015, Plaintiff filed a letter requesting a copy of his original complaint, stating

25

that he never received the prior copy. Plaintiff also requests a copy of the docket report.
The Court reviewed its March 30, 2015, order and confirmed that a copy of the original

26
27

complaint was sent with the order. Plaintiff has filed a First Amended Complaint, making the

28

///
1

1

original complaint no longer operative, and he has failed to explain why he needs a copy at this time.

2

Plaintiff is advised that the Clerk does not ordinarily provide free copies of case documents to

3

parties.

4

As to a copy of the docket report, Plaintiff is advised that as long as he keeps the Court

5

advised of his current address, he will receive all documents involving his case. At this time,

6

Plaintiff’s original complaint has been dismissed and his First Amended Complaint is awaiting

7

screening.

8

Plaintiff’s request is therefore DENIED.
