ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

TRANSCRIPTS AT GOVERNMENT

EXPENSE 

(DOC 170)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and with a civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. section 1983. Following a jury trial, on November 9, 2005, judgment was entered in favor of

defendants and against plaintiff pursuant to the jury verdict rendered on November 4, 2005. 

November 16, 2005, plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal. On December 15, 2005, plaintiff filed a

motion for transcripts at the expense of the government. Plaintiff provides no authority for his

request nor has he shown good cause. Plaintiff has yet to file a completed application to proceed in

forma pauperis on appeal. However, assuming plaintiff will be granted leave to proceed in forma

pauperis on appeal upon submission of a completed application, in forma pauperis status does not

entitle the appellant to free transcripts at the government’s expense. Plaintiff’s motion is therefore

DENIED. Plaintiff may, however, make his application directly to the court of appeals. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
