MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
The District Court referred this case to the Magistrate Judge for purpose of conducting a
settlement conference (#76). The Court is in the process of scheduling a date and time for the
settlement conference.
Plaintiff has filed a motion for free copies of exhibits (#79). Prior to the onset of
electronic filing at NNCC, plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment (#33) with many pages
of exhibits in June 2012. Apparently, plaintiff did not keep copies of the exhibits for his own
use. Plaintiff is requesting copies of five pages of exhibits (C-6 through C-10) be sent to him for
use during his preparation for the settlement conference (#33, pages 56-60).
It is not the court’s obligation to provide litigants, even indigent ones, with copy services.
Inmates are required to submit a copy request form to the clerk of the court stating the specific
documents he would like copied together with the appropriate fee. However, in the interest of
facilitating settlement in this matter, the court GRANTS plaintiff’s motion (#79), and orders the
Clerk to SEND plaintiff the five pages he requests.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
LANCE S. WILSON, CLERK
