provide free copies of documents to parties. The clerk charges $.50 per page for copies of

documents, plus $9.00 per document for certification. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). Copies up to

20 pages may be made by the clerk's office at this court upon request and prepayment of the copy

fees. Further, Petitioner merely makes a blanket request for a copy of the amended petition,

without providing any details of how it is needed to prosecute this action, particularly in light of

the fact that Petitioner filed a thorough opposition to Respondent’s motion. 

Accordingly, Petitioner’s request for a copy of the amended petition, is DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
