IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGE CEDELL HARMON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-1495 LEW JFM P

vs.

Warden D.K. SISTO, et al.,

Defendants.

 / ORDER

Plaintiff has requested an extension of time to file an amended complaint pursuant

to the court's order of July 25, 2007. Good cause appearing, his request for extension of time

will be granted. Plaintiff will also be granted an extension of time in which to file an in forma

pauperis affidavit or pay the required filing fee. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a).

In addition, plaintiff seeks a court order requiring prison officials to allow plaintiff

ten hours of physical access to the law library every week, specifically, two hours per day

Tuesdays through Saturdays. Plaintiff contends that the paging system at CSP-Solano is

insufficient and unconstitutional because all other types of law library access are denied and

other inmates are not allowed to assist him in accessing the law library despite Title 15 § 3613

which permits such assistance. Good cause appearing, the court will direct the Office of the

Attorney General to respond to plaintiff’s allegations concerning law library access.
