ROBERT W. FOX,

15

Defendant.

16
Plaintiff is a state prisoner who was proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an

action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 15, 2017, plaintiff filed a notice that he was

19

voluntarily dismissing this case. On November 17, 2017, the clerk closed this case. On

20

November 27, 2017, plaintiff filed a motion for the return of the documents he filed in this case.

(ECF No. 42.)
Plaintiff is advised that the documents he filed here are part of the court’s record and may

22

not be returned. Further, the clerk does not ordinarily provide free copies of case documents to

24

parties. In forma pauperis status does not include the cost of copies. The Clerk's Office will

25

provide copies of documents and of the docket sheet at $0.50 per page. Checks in the exact

26

amount are made payable to "Clerk, USDC." Copies of documents in cases may also be obtained

27

by printing from the public terminals at the Clerk's Office or by contacting Cal Legal Support
