original complaint no longer operative, and he has failed to explain why he needs a copy at this time. 

Plaintiff is advised that the Clerk does not ordinarily provide free copies of case documents to 

parties. 

As to a copy of the docket report, Plaintiff is advised that as long as he keeps the Court 

advised of his current address, he will receive all documents involving his case. At this time, 

Plaintiff’s original complaint has been dismissed and his First Amended Complaint is awaiting 

screening.

Plaintiff’s request is therefore DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
