BACKGROUND
22
Jonathan W. Mundo (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis
23
with this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, filed on November 5, 2015. This
24
case now proceeds with the Fifth Amended Complaint filed on June 15, 2016, against
25
defendants A. Taylor (Pleasant Valley State Prison Classification Staff Representative), F.
26
Salgado (Centinela State Prison (“CEN”) Correctional Counselor), Raybon (CEN Correctional
27
Counselor), and Arias (CEN Facility Captain). (ECF No. 32.)
28
On March 10, 2017, Plaintiff filed a request for copies. (ECF No. 43.)

II.
REQUEST FOR COPIES
2
Plaintiff has requested copies of his Fifth Amended Complaint and “the most recent
3
filed pleading insofar that one was filed after Magistrate Austin was assigned to the above
4
case.” (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff indicates that he was extradited from a prison in California to a
5
prison in Nevada, and he was not allowed to bring all of his legal property.
6
Plaintiff is advised that the Clerk does not ordinarily provide free copies of case
7
documents to parties. The Clerk charges $.50 per page for copies of documents. See 28 U.S.C.
8
§ 1914(a). The fact that the court has granted leave for Plaintiff to proceed in forma pauperis
9
does not entitle him to free copies of documents from the court. However, in this instance,
10
Plaintiff has shown good cause for the court to send him a courtesy copy of his Fifth Amended
11
Complaint. Besides the Fifth Amended Complaint, it is not clear from Plaintiff’s request what
12
other document he is requesting. Therefore, the court shall also send Plaintiff a copy of the
13
current docket sheet of this case for his review.

III.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
16
1.
