RAUL DANIEL LINAREZRODRIGUEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

KORY L. HONEA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:22-cv-1692 KJM CSK P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a Butte County Jail inmate, proceeding pro se. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983 and is proceeding in forma pauperis. On April 8, 2024, plaintiff filed a motion 

to access the law library in order to file a response to defendant Rayome’s answer. 

Rule 7(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides:

(a) Pleadings. Only these pleadings are allowed:

(1) a complaint; 

(2) an answer to a complaint; 

. . . 

(7) if the court orders one, a reply to an answer.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(a) (emphasis added). The court has not ordered plaintiff to reply to defendant’s 

answer and declines to make such an order.

At this time, plaintiff is not under a present obligation to submit documents within a time 

certain and thus has not demonstrated that his right of access to the courts is being impaired.1 

Therefore, plaintiff’s motion is denied without prejudice to renewal.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion (ECF No. 51) is denied 

without prejudice.
