MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

This matter is before the Court on plaintiff’s Motion
for Copies and Status (Filing No. 27).

Plaintiff does not have

the right to receive copies of documents without payment, even if
the Court granted him leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

U.S.C. § 1915; see also Haymes v. Smith, 73 F.R.D. 572, 574
(W.D.N.Y. 1976) (“The generally recognized rule is that a court
may not authorize the commitment of federal funds to underwrite
the necessary expenditures of an indigent civil litigant’s
action.”) (citing Tyler v. Lark, 472 F.2d 1077 (8th Cir. 1973),
other citations omitted).

If plaintiff requires copies of court

documents, he should contact the Clerk of the Court to determine
the proper method of requesting and paying for copies.
Plaintiff’s request for copies will be denied.
To the extent plaintiff seeks an update on the status
of his case, the Court will grant his motion.

The Court

dismissed this matter and entered judgment against plaintiff on
October 15, 2012 (See Filing Nos. 25 and 26).
IT IS ORDERED:
