ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST

FOR COURT DOCUMENTS, IN PART 

 (Doc. 7)

Pro Se Plaintiff Terry Pleasant (“Plaintiff”) initiated this civil action on March 7, 2013. 

On April 15, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion for “re-service” of Court’s Docket Document No.2; a

form to consent to, or decline, the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge; a copy of his filed

complaint; and a copy of the Local Rules of this Court.

Plaintiff is advised that the Court cannot provide copying and mailing services for any

party, including a plaintiff granted in forma pauperis status. As explained in the Informational

Order issued by this Court on March 29, 2013 and provided to Plaintiff, copies of documents

from the Court’s docket may be obtained at a cost of fifty cents per page. (Doc. 5, ¶ 3). Further,

if a party requires a file-stamped copy of any document filed with the Court, the party must, at

the time of filing, submit an original and two conformed copies, as well as a pre-addressed,

postage-paid envelope. The original and one conformed copy is required for Court use; the

second copy will be file-stamped and returned to the filing party in the envelope provided. (Doc.

5 ¶ 3). 

In the present instance only, Plaintiff’s motion for specific documents is granted in part. 

The Clerk of this Court is hereby directed to provide the following documents to Plaintiff:

(1) a copy of the docket sheet in this matter;1

(2) a copy of the filed complaint in this matter (excluding exhibits); and

(3) a form for accepting/declining a magistrate judge’s jurisdiction over the matter.

Plaintiff’s request for applicable Local Rules of this Court is denied without prejudice. 

The Court will screen Plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), in due course. 

Upon a finding by the Court that the complaint states cognizable claims and is appropriate for

service on defendants, Plaintiff may renew his request for a copy of applicable Local Rules. 

 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: April 29, 2013 /s/ Gary S. Austin 

6i0kij UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

Plaintiff’s request for Document 2 appears to be erroneous, as Document 2 is simply the civil cover sheet

1

provided by Plaintiff at the time of filing of the complaint. The Court will therefore provide Plaintiff, for purposes

of clarification, a copy of the docket sheet for this case.
