MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe
It is hereby ORDERED that the plaintiff’s Motion for Turkish Translators in the
Court Presentation (Docket No. 49) is denied. This is a civil, not a criminal, action, and
the court is thus not required to provide an interpreter for the plaintiff to prosecute his
case. The court further notes that in his motion, plaintiff claims he cannot speak English
very well, but the court was able to understand the voice mail message plaintiff
previously left for the court in which he requested an interpreter for the upcoming Status
Conference.
