UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGE McNEIL,

Petitioner,

v.

G.J. GIURBINO, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 06-1042 AWI DLB HC

ORDER REGARDING PETITIONER’S

MOTION TO FILE OBJECTIONS AND

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO

SEND PETITIONER COURTESY COPY OF

PETITION AND ATTACHED EXHIBITS

[Doc. 6]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On September 13, 2006, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations

recommending that the instant petition be dismissed, without prejudice, as a successive petition. 

(Court Doc. 3.) Without any objection by Petitioner, the Findings and Recommendations were

adopted in full and judgment was entered on November 20, 2006. (Court Docs. 4, 5.) 

On December 5, 2006, after receiving the Court’s November 20, 2006, order Petitioner

filed a motion for an order to file timely objections. (Court Doc. 6.) In his motion, Petitioner

states that he was never provided a free copy of his petition and exhibits to send to the Ninth

Circuit Court of Appeals. Petitioner submits a letter he forwarded to Attorney’s Diversified

Service in which he requests a copy of the petition. However, Attorney’s Diversified requires the

payment of $45.00 for the copy. (Exhibit A-3, Motion.) Petitioner states that he is indigent and

unable to afford the payment of the fee for copying.

In the interests of justice, the Court will provide Petitioner a courtesy copy of his petition

and attachments. However, Petitioner is advised that this is purely a courtesy as it is his

responsibility to either pay the fee for the costs of the copy of the petition or retain a copy for his

own personal use. Thus, in future litigation this courtesy will likely not be extended to

Petitioner.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is directed to send

Petitioner a courtesy copy of his petition, filed August 9, 2006. Petitioner’s motion is DENIED

in all other respects.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
