UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID ALLEN THOMPSON, SR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

SCOTT R. JONES, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-1951 MCE CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff has requested an extension of time to submit the documents necessary for service 

of process on defendant McClary. Good cause appearing, that request will be granted.

Plaintiff also asks that the court order Sacramento County Jail officials to pay postage for 

correspondence plaintiff wishes to send to parties other than the court. Because there are no 

defendants in this action at this time and plaintiff does not have an attorney, the Sacramento 

County Jail is not required under plaintiff’s First Amendment right of access to courts to pay for 

postage to any person or entity other than this court with respect to this action. Accordingly, 

plaintiff’s request will be denied.
