ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR

INFORMATION

(Doc. 7)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 18, 2010, Plaintiff filed a motion for information on how

to obtain his original documents filed with the Court. Plaintiff explains that he was unaware that

pursuant to Local Rule 138(d), paper documents will only be maintained in the Clerk’s Office for

a limited time.

Plaintiff is advised that he should submit a request to the Clerk’s Office indicating his case

name and number, the documents he wishes to be returned, and the date on which those documents

were filed. In addition, Plaintiff must enclose a large, self-addressed envelope with sufficient

postage. The Court cannot provide mailing service for a party, even for an indigenous plaintiff

proceeding in forma pauperis. In future, Plaintiff is cautioned to retain copies of all documents filed
