He also should explain what 24 /// 25 /// 26 /// 27 /// 28 /// 1 records from the court proceedings he did have and for how long he had them. For any period he 2 claims he was precluded from attending a library due to a lockdown, he should explain why he was 3 unable to use a prison paging system to access legal materials. The Court only wants factual 4 information; no further legal brief is appropriate. 5 6 IT IS SO ORDERED. 7 8 Dated: November 22, 2011 9 _________________________ EDWARD M.
