In the instant motion to be heard, Petitioner requests copies of his pending 20 petition, applications to proceed in forma pauperis, and a printout of all of Petitioner’s cases in 21 the Eastern District dating back to 2012 so that he “can order some of [his] old cases back.” 1 22 (ECF No. 2 at 1–2). Petitioner has been granted in forma pauperis status in the instant proceeding. (ECF No. 23 24 4). However, the fact that the Court has granted leave for Petitioner to proceed in forma pauperis 25 does not entitle him to free copies of documents from the Court. The Clerk of Court is not 26 required to furnish copies without costs to an indigent petitioner except by order of the judge. 28 27 U.S.C. § 2250. Petitioner is advised that it is his responsibility to retain any and all copies of 28 1 Page numbers refer to the ECF page numbers stamped at the top of the page. 1 1 documents filed and received pertaining to this case.
