IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DENNIS G. CLAIBORNE,

Plaintiff, No. 2:10-cv-2427 LKK EFB P

vs.

BLAUSER, et al.,

ORDER

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

U.S.C. § 1983. This order concerns plaintiff’s request “that the court require the Deputy

Attorney General to provide plaintiff a full copy of the deposition,” which defendants oppose. 

Dckt. No. 62, 67. The officer before whom a deposition is taken must retain stenographic notes

of the proceedings. Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(f)(3). “When paid reasonable charges, the officer must

furnish a copy of the transcript . . . to any party or deponent.” Id. Thus, after plaintiff pays for a

copy of his deposition transcript, he may then obtain it from the officer before whom the

deposition was taken. Plaintiff cites to no authority suggesting defendants should instead, be

forced to bear this cost.
