 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

 EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMAS JOHN HEILMAN,

Plaintiffs, No. CIV S-08-2788 KJM EFB P

 v. 

VOJKFUKA, et al., ORDER

Defendants. 

______________________________/

Plaintiff, an inmate proceeding with counsel in this civil rights action, has filed a

motion in pro per, asking the court to order the California Department of Corrections and

Rehabilitation to give him access to the law library, to provide the necessary resources for

litigation, including paper and envelopes, and to process his legal mail so he can send documents

to his appointed counsel. He says he has been kept in segregation and deprived of the means to

pursue this and other litigation. ECF No. 120 at 2.

Plaintiff has not shown that his access to the court in this case has been impaired

by any restrictions on his ability to undertake legal research. His claimed inability to mail

documents to his appointed counsel, however, may implicate his access to the court.
