WASEEM DAKER, Plaintiff, v. BRIAN OWENS, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
BENJAMIN W. CHEESBRO, MAGISTRATE JUDGE, SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion for Access to Legal Materials.
Doc. 411. Plaintiff urges this Court to order Defendants or Warden Adams, who is not a party to this case, to permit Plaintiff to keep certain legal materials in his cell or to provide “readily available access” to his legal materials. Id. at 2. Plaintiff provides no legal basis for this request. Plaintiff does not explain whether he makes this request under the rules governing discovery, as an injunction, or through some other mechanism. Regardless, the Court has repeatedly denied Plaintiff's requests for access to his legal materials. See, e.g., Docs. 432, 445. Moreover, Plaintiff made the request primarily based on Warden Adams' purported refusal to allow him to read and review Defendants' motion for sanctions. Doc. 411 at 1-2. However, Plaintiff filed a response to that motion on May 5, 2022, and the Court has since ruled on it. Docs. 418, 430, 1 431. Thus, the basis upon which Plaintiff made the request is moot. Accordingly, the Court
DENIES Plaintiff's Motion for Access to Legal Materials. Doc. 411.
Similarly, to the extent Plaintiff requests a telephonic status conference, this request is also DENIED as moot.
SO ORDERED, 2
