UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN E. FIELDS,

Plaintiff,

v.

RUIZ, et.al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:03-cv-06364-LJO DLB PC

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

FOR COPY OF NINTH CIRCUIT MODEL

JURY INSTRUCTIONS

(Doc. 199)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO

SEND NINTH CIRCUIT MODEL JURY

INSTRUCTIONS TO PLAINTIFF

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with this civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. section 1983. This action is proceeding on plaintiff’s second amended

complaint, filed February 9, 2004, against defendants Ruiz, Wilbur, Canfield, Fuhlrodt and Rabe for

violation of the Eighth Amendment.

On May 8, 2008, Plaintiff filed a motion for a court order directing the Clerk of the Court to

provide plaintiff with a copy of the Ninth Circuit Model Jury Instructions, as so directed in the PreTrial Order issued April 24, 2008 (Docs. 199, 185). 

It is the Court’s understanding that copies of the Ninth Circuit Model Jury Instructions are

available for use at the library at California State Prison - Corcoran. Although the court normally

will not send copies directly to a plaintiff, the court will in this case direct the Clerk of the 

Court to send to plaintiff, strictly as a courtesy, the Ninth Circuit Model Jury Instructions pertaining

to his section 1983 claim.
