ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Copys of Legal-Mail [sic]
[Docket No. 85; Filed February 7, 2013] (the “Motion”). No response to the Motion has
been filed. Plaintiff requests a copy of his legal mail which he asserts he should have
received and/or sent on January 30, 2013. He alleges that his unit sergeant, Sgt.
Gonzales, prevented him from receiving or sending this legal mail. Plaintiff does not
specify what mail in particular he believes was not received or sent on or around January
30, 2013, although he mentions that he had expected contact from two attorneys “regarding
1

his medical legal options.” Motion [#85] at 2.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion [#85] is DENIED without prejudice. If
Plaintiff seeks to refile his motion, he must provide specific details on what mail Plaintiff
believes he has not received or been able to send.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, sua sponte, that the Clerk’s Office is directed to mail
to Plaintiff a copy of the document at Docket No. 81, filed on January 24, 2013. The Court
reminds Plaintiff that regardless of his in forma pauperis status, he is not entitled to
unlimited cost-free copies and forms in this litigation. See Windsor v. Martindale, 175
F.R.D. 665, 670-72 (D. Colo. 1997).
Dated: May 1, 2013
