PRESENT: THE HONORABLE WILLIAM G. COBB, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
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 to Extend Copywork Limit (ECF No. 73). Plaintiff
seeks a twenty dollar extension "to copy exhibits and to further litigate this case to the 9th Circuit."
(Id. at 1.)
Because no final judgment has been entered in this case, it would be premature for Plaintiff
to commence litigation of this action with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Therefore, that basis
for a copywork extension is not well grounded.
Plaintiff's further rationale is that he needs to "copy exhibits." Plaintiff does not suggest what
exhibits he may have to copy or for what purpose the copies might be utilized. The docket in this
matter reflects that Plaintiff has already filed an Objection to this court's Report and
Recommendation of December 2, 2015 (ECF No. 66) to which Objection Plaintiff appended three
exhibits (ECF No. 71). Plaintiff has recently filed a motion (ECF No. 73) to extend time to file an
objection to a subsequent Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 70, 1/11/16) but does not state
whether he will need to submit additional exhibits beyond those 13 pages of documents which
accompanied his Response (ECF No. 62) to Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No.
57).
The court notes Plaintiff is housed at Lovelock Correctional Center which participates in the
court's Electronic Filing program, which obviates the need for duplication of filings (Plaintiff's
Motion No. 73 reflects it was served via email through the law library staff (id. at 9)).

Although the request for the extension is insufficiently documented, because the Plaintiff
may have some need for copying relative to his anticipated Objections to this court's most recent
Report and Recommendation, the court grants Plaintiff a Five ($5.00) dollar copywork extension.
The Clerk shall send a copy of this order extending copywork to the Chief of Inmate Services
for NDOC (P.O. Box 7011 Carson City, NV 89702) and the Lovelock Correctional Center librarian
so that the funds can be properly allocated.
Plaintiff's Motion (ECF No. 73) is granted in part and denied in part.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
