CASE NO. 1:06-CV-00694-AWI-SMS-P

Appeal No. 06-16361

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

FOR TRANSCRIPTS ON APPEAL AT

GOVERNMENT EXPENSE

(Doc. 9)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO

SERVE COPY OF ORDER ON NINTH

CIRCUIT

Plaintiff Willie Weaver (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner who was proceeding pro se in this civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on June 5, 2006. (Doc. 1.)

Because the complaint in this action sets forth the same claims as those set forth in the complaint

filed on April 17, 2006, in case number 1:06-CV-00442-AWI-SMS-P, by order filed June 27, 2006,

the Court dismissed this action as duplicative of case number 1:06-CV-00442-AWI-SMS-P. (Doc.

5.) Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on July 10, 2006. (Doc. 6.) On August 3, 2006, plaintiff filed

a motion seeking transcripts at government expense. (Doc. 8.)

Because there have been no courtroom proceedings in this action, the Court construes

plaintiff’s motion to be one for the printing of the record at government expense. Plaintiff was not

proceeding in forma pauperis in this action in the district court. Therefore, plaintiff is not entitled

to printing of the record at government expense. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(c). Further, in a separate order

issued concurrently with this order, the Court found that plaintiff’s appeal was not taken in good

faith and denied plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. For these

reasons, plaintiff’s motion shall be denied. In the event that the Ninth Circuit deems it necessary to

review the record and directs this Court to produce it, the Court will do so. Absent instruction from

the Ninth Circuit, however, the record will not be printed for plaintiff at government expense. 

In accordance with the above, plaintiff’s motion for transcripts on appeal, construed as one

for the printing of the record on appeal at government expense, filed August 3, 2006, is HEREBY

DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
