KELVIN CANNON,

Plaintiff,
v.

FNU GALLAGHER, ET. AL.,

15

Case No. 1:18-cv-666-NONE-HBK
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S SECOND
MOTION FOR COPIES OF DEPOSITION
TRANSCRIPT

Defendants.

(Doc. No. 82)

16
17

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion requesting a copy of his deposition

18

transcript, filed on July 29, 2021. (Doc. No. 82, “Motion”). Plaintiff states that defense counsel

19

recently denied him a “complimentary copy” of his deposition transcript. (Id. at 1).

20

A review of the docket shows the Court previously denied Plaintiff’s prior motion for a

21

copy of the deposition transcript. (Doc. No. 79). As the Court explained at length in its July 9,

22

2021 order, in forma pauperis status does not entitle a litigant to free, unlimited copies. (Id. at 3).

23

Additionally, Plaintiff should already have a copy of the portions of the deposition transcript

24

attached to Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. (Id. at 4). The instant Motion does not

25

state that Plaintiff was not served a copy of the Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and

26

attachments thereto. (See generally Doc. No. 82). Nor does Plaintiff explain why he requires a

27

complete copy of the transcript. (Id.). For the reasons set forth in the Court’s July 9 Order,

28

Plaintiff second motion for copies of the deposition transcript is denied.
