UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Kajauna Kenyatta Irvin is appearing pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983 and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (“RLUIPA”). The case 

was removed from state court on October 14, 2010. 

On November 16, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion for the Court to provide copies of “legal 

documents.”

Plaintiff does not reference which “legal documents” he seeks to obtain a copy of and the 

Court cannot discern from the conclusory nature of Plaintiff’s motion which documents he is 

requesting. Furthermore, Plaintiff is advised that the Court does not ordinarily provide free copies of 

case documents to parties. The Clerk of Court charges $.50 per page for copies of documents. See 28 

U.S.C. § 1914(a). Copies of up to twenty pages may be made by the Clerk Office at this Court upon 

written request and prepayment of the copy fees. The fact that the Court has granted leave for Plaintiff 

to proceed in forma pauperis does not entitle him to free copies of documents from the Court. Under 

28 U.S.C. § 2250, the Clerk is not required to furnish copies without costs to an indigent plaintiff
