ORDER DENYING MOTION TO COPY

Defendants.
_____________________________________/

10
Plaintiff Michael Gonzales, is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in
11
this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 5, 2018, Plaintiff filed a motion
12
requesting copies of all exhibits filed in this case and their transfer to case Gonzales v. Fersso,
13
1:16-cv-01813 (ED Cal). (Doc. 79.) Plaintiff contends he is having difficulty obtaining copies of
14
documents he needs in the Fersso case. (Id.) Plaintiff has filed a similar request in the Fersso
15

case in conjunction with a request for a second extension of time to file Plaintiff’s initial

16
disclosures. See Fersso, Docs. 51, 52.
17
18

Although this Court recognizes Plaintiff’s issue, it is for the Court in the Fersso case to
decide whether Plaintiff’s request is justified and whether any of his exhibits in the present action

19
are relevant to his claims in the Fersso case. This Court declines to extend its limited resources
20
addressing an issue which is before and properly within the jurisdiction of the Court in the Fersso
21

case. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion filed on April 5, 2018, (Doc. 79), for the exhibits in this

22
action to be copied and transferred to the Fersso case, is HEREBY DENIED.
23
24 IT IS SO ORDERED.
