SEYBERT, District Judge:
Presently pending before the Court is pro se Plaintiff
Kevin Jefferson’s request for a copy of the transcript of the
March 26, 2012 preliminary injunction hearing free of charge.
However, Plaintiff failed to indicate in his request why he
needs

the

transcript

to

prosecute

his

case.

Plaintiff

was

present at the hearing, had the opportunity to take notes, and
was (and will continue to be) provided with copies of all Court
orders

and

filings

in

this

action.

Additionally,

there

is

nothing for Plaintiff to do at this stage of the litigation but

wait.

No additional briefing on the motion for preliminary

injunction was requested, and the Court stated that a written
decision would be forthcoming.
16,

2012

to

answer

or

And Defendants have until April

otherwise

respond

to

the

Complaint.

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s request is DENIED.
If Plaintiff choses to renew his application, he must
indicate

specific

reasons

why

the

transcript

is

reasonably

necessary to prosecute his case or his request will be denied.
The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3)
that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith
and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose
of any appeal.

See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438,

444-45, 82 S. Ct. 917, 8 L. Ed. 2d 21 (1962).
The Clerk of the Court is directed to send a copy of
this Order to the pro se Plaintiff.

SO ORDERED.
