No. 2: 13-cv-2147 TLN KJN P

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant

18

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s June 2, 2014 motion requesting that

19

the court order prison officials to provide plaintiff with 28-line numbered paper. Plaintiff alleges

20

that prison officials have refused to provide him with this paper.

21

The court does not require prisoners proceeding without counsel to submit filings on lined

22

paper. The court will accept filings from pro se prisoners that are legible and written neatly on

23

any type of common white paper that can be scanned and saved on the court’s electronic

24

CM/ECF docket.

25

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for lined paper (ECF No.

26

48) is denied.
