(Doc. 75)
A. PODSAKOFF, et al.,
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 March 8, 2018, Plaintiff filed a motion
12
seeking copies of the documents attached as exhibits to his reply (Doc. 72) to Defendants’
13
motion for security, indicating that correctional officers did not make copies before mailing as
14
Plaintiff requested. (Doc. 75.) Plaintiff was directed in the First Informational Order not to send
15
original documents to the Court. (Doc. 4, p. 2.) Generally, parties are required to pay $0.50 per
16
page for copies of any document, regardless of in forma pauperis status. It is understood that
17
Plaintiff will require the documents he seeks, or copies thereof, to pursue this action. However,
18
the circumstances Plaintiff describes rendered submission of Plaintiff’s original documents
19
unavoidable.
20
Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for copies of his exhibits
21
and/or his originals, filed on March 8, 2018, (Doc. 75), is GRANTED. The Clerk of the Court is
22
directed to return the original documents attached to Plaintiff’s Reply (Doc. 72) to Plaintiff, or if
23
already destroyed, to send Plaintiff copies thereof.
24
25 IT IS SO ORDERED.
