ORDER
/

16

Plaintiff is a California prisoner proceeding pro se. On November 4, 2011,

17

plaintiff filed a motion in which he requests that the court order staff at his prison to allow

18

plaintiff to use a typewriter for matters related to this and other cases. Plaintiff presents evidence

19

indicating he has an injury to his right hand which makes it difficult for plaintiff to write.

However, plaintiff fails to indicate why a court order is necessary for plaintiff to access a

21

typewriter. He has not shown: 1) he cannot purchase a typewriter for personal use; and 2) he has

22

been denied access to a prison typewriter. Accordingly, plaintiff’s November 4, 2011 motion is

23

denied. Plaintiff may renew his motion if he is able to establish the facts identified above. In
