UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAKEITH LEROY MCCOY,

 Plaintiff,

v.

J. RAMIREZ, et al.

 Defendants.

Case No. 1:13-cv-01808-MJS (PC)

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

RETURN OF ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS

(ECF No. 27)

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

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On June 12, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting return of original documents 

that had been filed with the Court. (ECF No. 27.) Plaintiff states that he sent the 

documents to the Court without making copies in an effort to respond expeditiously to 

the Court’s order to show cause. The documents Plaintiff refers to appear at Docket 

No. 26, pages 10-11, and consist of an envelope purporting to demonstrate that 

Plaintiff’s initial response to the Court’s order to show cause was returned to Plaintiff 

because it was mailed to the wrong address.

This is not Plaintiff’s first request for additional copies of documents sent to the

Court; it is his fifth. To the extent Plaintiff wishes to maintain copies of documents filed 

with the Court, doing so is his own responsibility and it must be done at his own 

expense. The Court cannot serve as a copying service for Plaintiff.
