v.

No. 2:18-cv-1796 KJM DB P

ORDER

E. MONTEJO,

15

Defendant.

16
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action seeking relief

17
18

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has filed a request for copies of the docket in three cases he has

19

in this court, including the present case. He states only that mail theft is “rampant” and that he is

20

indigent. The Clerk of the Court responded to plaintiff’s request by providing him with the

21

procedures for obtaining a copy of the docket. Plaintiff’s case has been pending for five years

22

and there is no indication he has not received copies of documents filed in this case. This court

23

finds no reason to except plaintiff from the procedures for obtaining copies, which apply to all

24

parties appearing before the court including those proceeding in forma pauperis.
