UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES W. OLIVER,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-1974 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff has filed a motion for a thirty day extension of time to submit the documents 

necessary to effect service. (ECF No. 20.) In his motion, plaintiff claims that the Clerk of the 

Court inadvertently forgot to include service documents with the order filed July 27, 2015. Good 

cause appearing, the court will grant the requested extension of time and provide plaintiff with 

copies of the allegedly-omitted documents.

Plaintiff has also filed a motion to be permitted to file a single copy of the First Amended 

Complaint and the completed service documents with the court, on the grounds that the copy 

machine at the prison is “temporarily offline, with no firm date as to when it will be 

repaired . . . .” (ECF No. 21 at 1.) Plaintiff is hereby informed that the cost for the court to make

copies is $0.50 per page. Given this cost, the court is unable to make copies of documents for 

litigants due to budgetary constraints. Plaintiff’s motion will therefore be denied. If the copier 

continues to be out of service, plaintiff may inform the court of this fact and seek a further
