I.

DISCUSSION

19

Plaintiff has filed a motion to extend his copy work limit. (ECF No. 2). An inmate has no

20

constitutional right to free photocopying. Johnson v. Moore, 948 F.2d 517, 521 (9th Cir. 1991).

21

Pursuant to NDOC administrative regulation 722.01(7)(D), inmates "can only accrue a maximum of

22

$100 debt for copy work expenses for all cases, not per case." In this District, courts have found that

23

they can order a prison to provide limited photocopying when it is necessary for an inmate to provide

24

copies to the court and other parties. See Allen v. Clark Cnty. Det. Ctr., 2:10-CV-00857-RLH, 2011 WL

25

886343, *2 (D. Nev. Mar. 11, 2011). In this case, the Court grants Plaintiff's request to extend his copy

26

work account limit by another $10.00.

II.

CONCLUSION

2

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion to extend his copy work account (ECF No.

3

2) is GRANTED in the amount of $10.00. The Nevada Department of Corrections shall extend

4

Plaintiff's prison copy work limit by another $10.00.
