ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

REQUEST FOR ORDER FOR COPIES 

(Document 216)

Plaintiff Eric Wheeler (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner in the custody of the California 

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”). Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action proceeds on 

Plaintiff’s complaint, filed on May 25, 2012, on the following claims: (1) excessive force in 

violation of the Eighth Amendment against Defendants Duck, Murrieta and Lowder; (2) failure 

to protect in violation of the Eighth Amendment against Defendants Duck, Murrietta, Lowder, 

Loftis and Alison; and (3) deliberate indifference to a serious medical in violation of the Eighth 

Amendment against Defendants Ross, Mui, Neubarth and Ancheta. 

Defendant Murrieta, Lowder, Loftis, Duck, Ancheta, Neubarth, Ross and Allison’s 

January 20, 2015, motion for summary judgment is pending.

On January 29, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting that this Court issue an order to 

Mule Creek State Prison Facility B Law Librarian to allow Plaintiff to make up to 40 copies of 

28-lined paper per week. In a request for additional time to oppose the motion for summary 

judgment, filed with the instant motion, Plaintiff suggests that he needs the copies for his 

opposition.

This Court does not, however, have authority over individuals who are not parties to this 

action, and it cannot order such individuals to take any action. Plaintiff states that he has filed an 

inmate appeal about the issue, and the Court will not intervene in the process.

While the Court prefers pleadings on 28-lined paper, Plaintiff may submit his filings on 

regular paper if necessary. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
