ANDERSON P. THURSTON,

No. 2:18-cv-0527 CKD P

Plaintiff,

13

v.

R. YOUNGER,

15

ORDER

Defendant.

16
Plaintiff has requested that the court order officials at his prison to provide plaintiff with

17
18

immediate access to his legal materials. Plaintiff does not indicate why he needs immediate

19

access to the materials. A review of the court’s docket reveals defendant’s motion for summary

20

judgment is submitted to the court for decision, discovery is closed and the deadline for filing

21

pretrial motions has passed. Because the record before the court does not demonstrate that

22

plaintiff requires immediate access to any material related to this case, plaintiff’s request will be

23

denied. If, in the future, plaintiff seeks an order from the court directing prison officials to

24

provide plaintiff with documents, access to the law library, etc., plaintiff must demonstrate in

25

which specific manner denial of such access is hampering his ability to pursue his remaining

26

claims.

request that the court order officials at his prison to provide plaintiff with immediate access to his

legal materials is denied.
