ORDER

16

This is a prisoner civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 9,

17

2014, plaintiff filed a motion for a copy of his surreply, which has been stricken by the Court (Docket

18

No. 47). In his motion, plaintiff explains that he does not have access to a copy machine or law library.

19

Plaintiff therefore asks the court to send him a copy of the surreply he submitted in this action. Good

20

cause appearing, plaintiff’s motion is granted. The Clerk shall send to plaintiff one copy of his surreply

21

in this case, which may be found at Docket No. 47, at his address of record.

22

This is not Plaintiff’s first request for the Court to send him copies of his own filings.

23

See Docket No. 36 (order granting Plaintiff’s motion to send him a copy of his complaint). Although

24

the Court will provide a copy of this filing to Plaintiff this time, Plaintiff shall take steps in the future

25

to have a copy of his filings, whether it be by carbon paper, hand-writing a copy, or other means. The

26

Court may be less inclined to grant further similar requests in light of this instruction.
