UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MATTHEW DENNIS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SCOTT KERNAN, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0542 JAM AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed two requests for clarification 

regarding the proper way to refer to documents that have already been filed with the court. ECF 

Nos. 107, 108. Plaintiff is advised that the example he provides in his second request, which 

identifies the document by its ECF No. and page numbers, is an acceptable way to cite to 

documents on the record. Plaintiff is further advised that the court does not have the resources to 

regularly respond to requests related to formatting and procedure, and should he file any similar 

requests they will likely be disregarded. The court is aware of plaintiff’s status as a pro se 

prisoner and will consider it as appropriate when reviewing plaintiff’s filings. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motions for clarification, ECF 

Nos. 107, 108, are GRANTED to the extent set forth above. 

DATED: May 28, 2021
