HENRY A. JONES,

11

Plaintiff,

12

vs.

13

No. 2:10-cv-3206 MCE EFB P

SAHOTA, et al.,

ORDER

Defendants.

15

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

16
17

U.S.C. § 1983. This order concerns plaintiff’s “motion for complete disposition taken of

18

plaintiff,” which the court construes as a request for a deposition transcript. Dckt. No. 125. The

19

officer before whom a deposition is taken must retain stenographic notes of the proceedings.

20

Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(f)(3). “When paid reasonable charges, the officer must furnish a copy of the

21

transcript . . . to any party or deponent.” Id. Thus, after plaintiff pays for a copy of his

22

deposition transcript, he may then obtain it from the officer before whom the deposition was

23

taken. Plaintiff cites to no authority suggesting that either the court or the defendants, should

24

instead be forced to bear this cost.
