UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICKY CLAYBURN,

Plaintiff,

v.

SCRIBNER, et. al.,

Defendants.

 /

CV F 03 6421 AWI LJO P 

ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR COPIES

AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE (Doc. 25.) 

 Ricky Clayburn (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

Judgment in this case was entered on August 23, 2005. Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal

on September 21, 2005, and the appeal is currently pending. On October 20, 2005, Plaintiff filed

a pleading titled “Motion for Transcripts at Government Expense” in which he requests a copy of

all transcripts pertaining to the instant action in addition to all exhibits filed by Plaintiff. 

Generally, to avoid incurring the cost of postage, a litigant is advised to keep his own

copy of all documents he submits to the court for filing. Pursuant to policies established by the

Clerk of Court, copies obtained from a court file can be obtained at the cost of fifty-cents per

page. The Court cannot provide copy or mailing service for a party, even for an indigent plaintiff

proceeding in forma pauperis. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s request for copies is DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
