Case No.: 1:03-cv-05363 LJO DLB PC 

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

COPIES

(Doc. 131)

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

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter is currently set for jury trial on September 8, 2008. On June

27, 2008, plaintiff filed a motion entitled “Motion for Court Order Copies of Exhibits to be used at trial

pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26.” (Doc. 131). In his motion, plaintiff alleges that the

law librarian refuses to make copies of his trial exhibits. Plaintiff requests that the court “grant a order

for those copies of all my exhibits to be used in this case.” In support of his motion, plaintiff attaches

as exhibits an Information Chrono dated 4/22/08 and an Inmate Request for Legal Photocopy Service

form dated 5/16/08 (“Request Form”).

The Information Chrono and the Request Form both indicate that plaintiff’s photocopy request

was refused because plaintiff’s exhibits were not in proper form. The Request Form specifically states

that plaintiff’s request for photocopies was returned because the documents submitted were incomplete,

the exhibits were not properly listed, and there was no table of contents. The form further states that the

“[e]xhibits are not noted in the body of the motions. Drawings and stories are contained in the legal

document and cannot be linked to the motion.” 

Further, the Litigation Office at Corcoran has advised that plaintiff is entitled to law library

access every Tuesday, and that plaintiff has not put in a request for library law access for the past three

weeks.

Plaintiff’s motion is without merit and is denied. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
