Defendants.

Defendants move this Court to reconsider its previous Order (ECF No. 52). Defendants
14
15

claim, in part, that the Court has misinterpreted DOC 590.500. ECF No 56. Defendants are

16

directed to review ECF No. 46 in Case No. C10-5250 Christen v. DOC, et al. In that case, the

17

defendants advised the Court that DOC 590.500 “includes documents an offender requests in

18

discovery which he must pay to receive.” Id. In the case currently before the Court, and in its

19

Motion to Reconsider, the Defendants now say that is not the policy. The Court is requesting

20

additional briefing addressing the apparent inconsistent positions taken by the Department of

21
22

Corrections.

23

Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

24

(1)

25

Defendants shall provide the Court with additional briefing addressing the

specific issue on or before July 5, 2013.
