Charles Goods initiated this action by filing a complaint on July 31, 2017. (Doc. 1) The Court

17
18

determined Plaintiff failed to identify his claims, and the facts alleged were insufficient to determine

19

whether Plaintiff could state a cognizable claim. The Court ordered Plaintiff to file an amended

20

complaint, but the order was returned as undeliverable. Due to Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute the action

21

and failure to comply with the Local Rules requiring him to keep the Court informed of his address, the

22

matter was dismissed without prejudice on January 24, 2018. (Doc. 6)
Plaintiff now requests that the Court provide him copies of all documents in this case, beginning

23
24

with “the first writen (sic) claim,” reporting his copies of were stolen. (Doc. 8)
