ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF BRUCE
BOSTON’S REQUEST FOR ACCESS
TO COURTHOUSE LIBRARY
(Docket No. 7)

17
Plaintiff Bruce Boston (“Boston”) proceeding pro se requests access to the law library
18
located in the federal courthouse. Boston states that he intends to avail himself of the resources
19
available at the Federal Legal Assistance Self-Help Center and ease of access to a law library in the
20
same building would be more convenient for him. Having reviewed the request,
21
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Boston’s request for access to the law library of the federal
22
courthouse, which is located in a secure area of the courthouse and not usually open to the public, is
23
DENIED. Instead, Boston should take advantage of the resources available to him through the Santa
24
Clara County Law Library, located at 360 North First St., San Jose, CA 95113. That library has
25
more flexible hours and is better equipped than the courthouse law library to
