No. C 09-0057 RMW (PR)
ORDER DENYING
PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR
COURT COPIES
(Docket No. 224)

17
Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
18
§ 1983. On March 29, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment. On
19
April 10, 2013, plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration. On November 27, 2013, the court
20
denied plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration and granted plaintiff an extension of time within
21
which to file a notice of appeal. On January 2, 2014, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal.
22
Plaintiff has now filed a motion for the court to provide him with a copy of the court
23
record, and requests that the government be charged for paying for copies. In this motion,
24
plaintiff indicates that he is financially indigent and requires a copy of the court record in order
25
for him to quote from and support his claims on appeal. Plaintiff’s motion is DENIED.
26
The court notes that plaintiff has received a copy of all orders in this action at the time of
27
filing, and the defendants’ pleadings contain a certificate of service indicating that plaintiff has

been served with their papers as well. Plaintiff provides no authority to support his request that

2

the government should provide him free copies of the over 200 pleadings filed in this action.

3

Should plaintiff require an additional copy of certain pleadings, the court directs the clerk to

4

enclose a form for plaintiff to request any copies from the clerk and make payment for such

5

copies. Plaintiff may submit the enclosed form requesting copies and make payment for them to

6

the clerk. Once payment is received, the clerk will send plaintiff a copy of the specific

7

documents he requests.

8

No further filings will be considered in this closed case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
