UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FLOYD SCOTT,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. PALMER, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:09-cv-01329-SKO (PC)

Appeal No. 15-17113

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S

THIRD MOTION FOR TRANSCRIPTS 

AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE

(Doc. 274)

Plaintiff Floyd Scott (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

on appeal, filed his third (though titled as his second) motion seeking transcripts at government 

expense on January 13, 2016. Plaintiff’s first such motion was filed on October 22, 2015, and 

denied on November 9, 2015. The second was filed on November 12, 2015, and denied on 

November 16, 2015. 

The only difference in the arguments or assertions Plaintiff makes in his current motion is 

that he is now proceeding in forma pauperis on appeal. He was, however, granted that status on 

the same date as this Court’s order denying his second request to obtain transcripts at the 

government’s expense. Plaintiff has failed to set forth any grounds for the Court’s deviation from 

that ruling. (Doc. 268.) As such, for the reasons set forth in the order filed on November 9, 2015, 

Plaintiff’s motion is HEREBY DENIED.1 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 14, 2016 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto 

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

 

1 As stated in the order denying Plaintiff’s second such motion, Plaintiff may request this form of relief from the 

appellate court if he elects to do so.
