ORDER
_________
Plaintiff, currently detained at McRae Correctional Facility in McRae, Georgia, commenced
the above-captioned case pro se and has paid the $400.00 filing fee. The matter is now before the
Court because Plaintiff has filed a motion requesting that the Clerk of Court be directed to send him
copies of documents that have been filed in the case. (See doc. no. 24.) Plaintiff has been warned
that he must maintain a set of records for the case and has been notified that he can otherwise obtain
copies of documents from the Clerk of Court at the standard cost of fifty cents per page. (See doc.
no.6, p. 4.) He need only send the money and the list of copies he wants directly to the Clerk.
However, the Court will not provide free copies. Wanninger v. Davenport, 697 F.2d 992, 994
(11th Cir. 1983) (“A prisoner’s right of access to the court does not include the right of free

unlimited access to a photocopying machine . . . .” (citation omitted)). Accordingly, the Court
DENIES Plaintiff’s motion for a copy of a certified mailing receipt sent to the Court. (Doc. no. 24.)
SO ORDERED this 22nd day of April, 2015, at Augusta, Georgia.
