DEPUTY CLERK:

LISA MANN

REPORTER: NONE APPEARING

COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF(S): NONE APPEARING
COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT(S): NONE APPEARING
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Plaintiff’s motion to extend prison copywork limit (#24) is GRANTED in part. In his
motion, plaintiff states that he has exceeded his photocopy limit and requests that the court allow
him to exceed the limit in order to prosecute this case. The court will allow plaintiff a one-time
opportunity to exceed his photocopy limit in the amount of $10.00 for this case only. The
additional $10.00 shall be added to plaintiff’s prison account to be paid when plaintiff has funds
available. Plaintiff has indicated that he needs unlimited copywork in order to prosecute his
case. The court cautions plaintiff that he should carefully consider the documents he intends to
copy as the court will not allow plaintiff to exceed the copy limit by more than $10.00 under any
circumstance.
Plaintiff is also advised that the District of Nevada has instituted an electronic filing
program at plaintiff’s current place of incarceration, Northern Nevada Correctional Center
(“NNCC”). Plaintiff’s need for copies will now be substantially reduced or eliminated with the
new electronic filing program because plaintiff will be retaining his original documents
submitted for filing, and a copy will be electronically submitted to opposing counsel and the
court. See Nevada Department of Corrections AR 723.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
LANCE S. WILSON, CLERK
