DEPUTY CLERK:

KATIE LYNN OGDEN REPORTER: NONE APPEARING

COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF(S): NONE APPEARING
COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT(S): NONE APPEARING
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Before the court is Plaintiff’s motion requesting copies of documents filed in this action.
(Doc. # 46.) Specifically, Plaintiff seeks copies of Docs. # 38, # 39, # 40, and # 46. (Id.)
This is Plaintiff’s second request for copies of documents filed in this case. (See Doc. # 43.)
The court previously explained to Plaintiff that copies of Docs. # 38, # 39 and # 40 were distributed
to Plaintiff through the Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF). (See Doc. # 44.) There was no Doc. # 46
on file at that time. (Id.) The court advised Plaintiff that it had received a memorandum from
Northern Nevada Correctional Center (NNCC) Law Library Supervisor, Pauline Simmons, stating
that Plaintiff had been admitted to the mental health unit and was unable to receive the documents
for a period of time. (See id., see also Doc. # 42.) The court advised Plaintiff to contact
Ms. Simmons to obtain the requested documents. (Id.) Otherwise, Plaintiff was required to order and
pay for copies at the cost of ten cents per page. (Id.)
Nevertheless, Plaintiff has filed another motion seeking copies of Docs. # 38, # 39, # 40, and
# 41. (Doc. # 46.) Plaintiff states that the Warden has confiscated the materials. (Id.)
The court received another memorandum from Ms. Simmons dated January 15, 2014,
indicating that Plaintiff is now on the general population yard at NNCC. (Doc. # 45.) Pursuant to the
memorandum, Plaintiff is advised that he may access the documents he is requesting by sending a
kite to the Warden’s office to review the documents.

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion (Doc. # 46) is DENIED.
Plaintiff is again advised that this action was dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which
relief can be granted. (Doc. # 38.) A judgment of dismissal has been entered (Doc. # 40) and the case
has been closed by the Clerk of the Court. (Id.)

IT IS SO ORDERED.
