United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHAWNCEY BLAKE,

Plaintiff,

v.

HOYT, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-00720-HSG 

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

COURT-ORDERED LONG DISTANCE 

PHONE CALLS

Re: Dkt. No. 45

Plaintiff has requested that the Court allow him to make long-distance phone calls to the 

415 area code so that he may communicate with this Court, seek legal representation, and 

communicate with attorneys and legal aid organizations. Docket No. 45. Plaintiff’s request is 

DENIED. Plaintiff has not shown that communicating by mail is insufficient for his purposes. 

Moreover, the restrictions on Plaintiff’s ability to make long-distance phone calls are presumably 

due to rules or regulations set forth by the Santa Clara County Department of Corrections, which 

is not a party to this action. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
