UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RONALD F. MARTINEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

A. PARKS,

Defendant.

Case No.: 1:21-cv-01496-JLT (PC)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION FOR COPY OF COMPLAINT 

(Doc. 3) AND COPIES OF MOTIONS (Doc. 

8)

ORDER DENYING AS MOOT 

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION REQUESTING 

COURT TO WAIVE THE E-FILING 

REQUIREMENT (Doc. 4) AND MOTION 

REQUESTING ACCESS TO LAW 

LIBRARY (Doc. 7)

Plaintiff has filed several motions requesting the assistance of the Court. First, Plaintiff 

has filed motions seeking copies of the complaint and motions filed in this case. (Docs. 2, 8.) 

Plaintiff alleges that he has been unable to access the law library to make copies. Under these 

circumstances, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s requests for copies. (Docs. 2, 8.) The Clerk of 

Court is DIRECTED to send to Plaintiff copies of the complaint and Plaintiff’s motions filed to 

date. (Docs. 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9.) 

Plaintiff has filed a motion for access to the law library to file his application for in forma 

pauperis and certified trust account statement. (Doc. 9.) However, Plaintiff has submitted his 

application to proceed IFP and his prisoner trust account statement. (Docs. 11, 13.) Therefore, 

Plaintiff’s request for access to the law library, (Doc. 9), is DENIED AS MOOT.

Plaintiff also seeks an order waiving the e-filing requirement and page limitation for the 

complaint. (Doc. 3.) The complaint has been filed with the Court, which will screen the complaint 

in due course. Therefore, Plaintiff’s request for a waiver is DENIED AS MOOT. Accordingly, 

the Court ORDERS as follows:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for a copy of the complaint (Doc. 3) is GRANTED.

2. Plaintiff’s motion requesting the Court to waive the e-filing requirement as to the 

complaint (Doc. 4) is DENIED AS MOOT.

3. Plaintiff’s motion for access to the law library to file motion for IFP and trust account 

statement (Doc. 7) is DENIED AS MOOT.

4. Plaintiff’s motion for copies of his submitted motions (Doc. 8) is GRANTED. This is 

a one-time allowance, and the Court will not again provide copies without the plaintiff 

prepaying the cost. He is urged to obtain copies of his documents before filing if he 

wishes to have them.

The Court DIRECTS the Clerk of Court send to Plaintiff copies of the complaint and 

Plaintiff’s motions. (Docs. 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9.) The Clerk is further directed to attach a blank consent 

form to this order, should Plaintiff wish to consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
