ORDER GRANTING

EXTENSION OF TIME TO

SERVE OPPOSITION AND

DENYING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION TO COMPEL;

INSTRUCTIONS TO CLERK

(Docket no. 13)

Plaintiff, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at Salinas Valley State Prison, has

filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court issued an order of

service on March 14, 2005 (docket no. 4). Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on July

12, 2005 (docket no. 10). On July 19, 2005, Plaintiff filed an opposition to the motion to

dismiss, and requested that the Court make copies of the opposition and mail a copy to

Defendants. Plaintiff’s request is DENIED, as it is Plaintiff’s responsibility to prosecute

this case. The Court will not serve the Defendants; however, Plaintiff is provided

another opportunity to serve his opposition to the motion to dismiss within thirty (30)

days of the date of this order. 

Plaintiff may request copies of documents from the Court at a charge of fifty cents

($.50) per page by completing and complying with all requirements of the Court's

"Request for Photocopies" form. Because Plaintiff has been granted in forma pauperis

status (docket no. 3), the Court will send him copies if he agrees to pay these fees in the

same manner in which he is paying the filing fee: in monthly installments deducted from

available funds in his prison trust account. If Plaintiff consents to these terms, he may

order the desired copies by returning the appropriate form. However, Plaintiff remains

responsible for serving Defendants with his opposition to the motion to dismiss, as well

as any communications with the Court. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of

this action for failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).

On September 20, 2005, Plaintiff filed a motion to compel Defendant to file a

reply to Plaintiff’s opposition. As Plaintiff has not served his opposition on Defendants,

Plaintiff’s motion to compel is DENIED (docket no. 13).

The Clerk shall provide Plaintiff with a conformed copy of his Declaration to the

Court and Opposition to Defendants’ Notice of Motion and Motion to Dismiss, filed July

19, 2005 (docket no. 11). The Clerk shall also provide Plaintiff with a "Request for

Photocopies" form.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: October 24, 2005
