UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HILTON FISHER,

Plaintiff,

v.

Defendant.

 /

CASE NO. 1:11-cv-00609-AWI-BAM PC

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

FOR COPIES OF ALL DOCUMENTS FILED

AND DIRECTING THE CLERK OF THE

COURT TO SENDPLAINTIFFA COPY OF THE

SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT

(ECF No. 41)

Plaintiff Hilton Fisher(“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 19, 2012, the Court ordered

Plaintiff to file a third amended complaint. (ECF No. 38.) Plaintiff’s third amended complaint is

due on or before January 9, 2013. 

On December 19, 2012, Plaintiff filed the instant motion requesting that the Court provide

him copies of “all Documents and a copy of the amended complaint that is due by January 9, 2013.” 

(ECF No. 41). The Court construes Plaintiff’s motion as a request for copies of all documents filed

in this action, including a copy of his second amended complaint, to help him prepare his third

amended complaint. Copies of all documents filed in this action, with the exception of the second

amended complaint, are unnecessary to assist Plaintiff with preparing a third amended complaint. 

Moreover, it is Plaintiff’s responsibility to keep copies of any documents that he submits to the court

and he needs to take whatever steps necessary to obtain the copies prior to submitting his pleadings. 

If Plaintiff needs additional time to obtain copies of his pleadings, then he needs to file a motion for

extension of time prior to any deadline provided by the Court.

Court will make an exception in this instance and will direct the Clerk’s Office to provide a copy of

the second amended complaint at no charge. However, Plaintiff is advised that any further copies

will need to paid for by Plaintiff. 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk’s Office shall mail a copy of the

second amended complaint, filed April 27, 2012, to Plaintiff.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
