SAN JOSE DIVISION

Rosario Marinello,

Plaintiff,

 v.

California Dep’t of Corrections &

Rehabilitation,

Defendants. /

NO. C 08-00664 JW 

ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR

RETURN OF FILED DOCUMENTS

Presently before the Court is a request dated January 20, 2010 by Alberta Rose Jones, a nonparty to the above entitled action, for the return of certain documents filed with the Court.1

 From

September 3-11, 2009, Ms. Jones filed a series of incoherent “declarations” in this case. (See

Docket Item Nos. 76-80.) On September 21, 2009, the Court ordered the Clerk of Court to strike the

filed documents from the Docket and to not accept any further filings from Ms. Jones in this case. 

(See Docket Item No. 83.)

Civil Local Rule 79-3 requires as follows: 

All files of the Court shall remain in the custody of the Clerk and no record or paper

belonging to the files of the Court may be taken from the custody of the Clerk without a

special order of a Judge and a proper receipt signed by the person obtaining the record or

paper. No such order will be made except in extraordinary circumstances.

 NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA, HANDBOOK FOR LITIGANTS WITHOUT A LAWYER 29

(2006).

2

The Handbook for Litigants Without a Lawyer, provided by the Court to pro se litigants, advises

that pro se litigants should “[b]e sure to keep an extra copy of every document you file for your own

files.”2

Here, Ms. Jones requests that her papers be returned so that she may file them in a separate

action. Ms. Jones contends that the Court’s September 21, 2009 Order was “illegal” and that the

Court is “illegally keeping [the documents] from being filed” in her other case. (Request at 1.) 

However, other than stating that she would like to file the documents in a separate case, Ms. Jones

provides no details as to the significance of the documents or other facts that might constitute

extraordinary circumstances. Thus, upon review of Ms. Jones’ submission, the Court finds that Ms.

Jones has presented no extraordinary circumstances that would warrant the release of the filed

documents.

Accordingly, the Court DENIES Ms. Jones’ Request for return of the filed documents.

Dated: February 9, 2010
