KRZYSZTOF F. WOLINSKI,

No. 2:17-cv-0583 MCE AC P

Plaintiff,

13

v.

14

J. LEWIS, et al.,

15

ORDER

Defendants.

16
17

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

18

This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

19

636(b)(1)(B).

20

Plaintiff has filed a motion to receive copies of the last two motions he filed as well as a

21

copy of the docket. ECF No. 58. In support of this request, plaintiff refers to Local Rule 133,

22

asserting that this rule entitles him to copies of the last-filed motions. See id. at 1.

23

Plaintiff is advised that nothing in Local Rule 133 entitles plaintiff to copies of the

24

documents he has filed with this court. On the contrary, Local Rule 133(a) clearly states, “After a

25

pro se party files a paper document, the Clerk will transform the paper filing into an electronic

26

record and ultimately discard the paper filing.” L.R. 133(a). Furthermore, the record indicates

27

that the Clerk of Court has already denied plaintiff’s request for copies twice this month and has

28

informed him that if he would like copies of documents from the docket or a copy of the docket

itself, he must pay for them at a cost of $0.50 per page. See ECF Nos. 56, 57.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for copies and a copy of
the court docket in this action (ECF No. 58) is DENIED.
Plaintiff is informed that any further requests of copies for documents without payment

5

will be also denied.
