The Court cautions Plaintiff that the statute providing authority to proceed in forma
pauperis, 28 U.S.C. § 1915, does not include the right to obtain court documents without payment.
“The granting of an application to proceed in forma pauperis does not waive the applicant’s
responsibility to pay expenses of litigation which not covered by 28 U.S.C. § 1915.” LSR 1-8. As
such, the Court advises Plaintiff to utilize carbon paper to duplicate documents when possible.
