ORDER

C/O HEATH, et al.,

15

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, currently incarcerated at Mule Creek State Prison (MCSP),1

18

who proceeds pro se and in forma pauperis with this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

19

§ 1983. By order filed July 25, 2017, the court set the following deadlines: September 29, 2017

20

for completing discovery, and December 15, 2017 for filing dispositive motions. See ECF No.

21

106.
On July 28, 2017, plaintiff filed a motion entitled “Motion to Certify 28-lined Pleading as

22

24

(California Penal Codes).” ECF No. 107. Plaintiff complains that the hours, assistance and

Review of the Inmate Locator website operated by the California Department of Corrections
and Rehabilitation (CDCR) indicates that plaintiff is now incarcerated at Mule Creek State
Prison, consistent with his most recent filing. See http://inmatelocator.cdcr.ca.gov/search.aspx.

determination by sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned).

copying rules at the prison law library are inadequate for his needs, and that he is being denied an

2

adequate supply of “28-lined pleading paper.”

3

It is not the role of this court to micromanage the availability of legal supplies and

4

assistance for prisoners. For this reason, plaintiff’s motion will be denied. Plaintiff may request

5

an extension of any particular deadline if delays accessing the library interfere with his ability to

6

comply.

7

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

8

1. Plaintiff’s motion filed July 28, 2017, ECF No. 107, is denied; and

9

2. The Clerk of Court is directed to note on the docket plaintiff’s current address of

10

record (see n.1, supra).
