UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

COTTRELL L. BROADNAX,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 1:20-cv-00043-SKO (PC) 

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF NOT

TO FILE EVIDENCE WITH THE COURT 

UNLESS NECESSARY TO DO SO

Plaintiff Cottrell L. Broadnax, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

initiated this civil rights action on October 31, 2019. (Doc. 1.) On January 8, 2020, the Northern 

District of California transferred this case to the Eastern District of California. (Doc. 28.)

Between October 31, 2019, and January 8, 2020, Plaintiff has filed no less than 16 

miscellaneous exhibits or documents. (See Docs. 5-6, 8, 11, 13, 15-18, 20, 22-27.) As stated in the 

Court’s first informational order, the Court does not serve as a repository for evidence. (Doc. 30 

at 3.) Thus, Plaintiff is DIRECTED to not file additional evidence unless it becomes necessary to 

do so in response to a Court order, or in connection with a motion or trial. Evidence that is 

improperly submitted to the Court may be stricken or returned.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 9, 2020 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto .
