Plaintiff,

No. 1:17-cv-00281-LJO-SKO (PC)
ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR
TRANSCRIPTS/COPIES
(Doc. 32)

MAILROOM OFFICIALS, et al.,

10

Defendants.

11

Plaintiff filed a motion requesting copies of transcripts and “information or documents

12
pertaining to [his] case.” (Doc. 32.) Plaintiff previously filed a request for copies of transcripts
13
which was denied since no hearings or other court events occurred in this action for any
14
transcripts to exist. (See Docs. 30, 31.) Plaintiff’s request for information or documents
15
pertaining to this case is too vague for the Court to determine what documents Plaintiff wants
16

copied. Further, payment for copies must be made in advance at the cost of $0.50 per page.1

17
Thus, Plaintiff must specifically identify the documents he wants copied and submit prepayment.
18

Accordingly, to the extent Plaintiff’s motion, filed May 1, 2019, (Doc. 32), seeks copies

19
of transcripts, it is DISREGARDED as duplicative of his prior motion (Doc. 30); to the extent
20
Plaintiff’s motion seeks copies of documents entered in the docket of this action, it is DENIED
21
without prejudice.
22
23
24

IT IS SO ORDERED.

All parties must pay for copies of documents filed in an action, even if they are proceeding in forma pauperis. (See
