Civil Action No. 05-cv-00576-PSF-CBS.
November 10, 2005
ORDER
This civil action comes before the court on: (1) Barringer's Motion to Set Hearing for Various Motions (filed November 8, 2005) (doc. # 28); Barringer's second request for hearing "for all Pending Motions" (filed November 8, 2005) (doc. # 29); and (3) Barringer's request for "Waiver of Photo Copy Fees" (filed November 8, 2005) (doc. # 30). Pursuant to the Amended Order of Reference dated November 2, 2005 (doc. # 22) and the memoranda dated November 8, 2005 (docs. # 31, # 32, and # 33), these matters were referred to the Magistrate Judge. The court has reviewed the pending matters, the entire case file, and the applicable law and is sufficiently advised in the premises.
First, while Barringer has been permitted to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, § 1915 does not relieve Barringer of the other financial obligations of litigation. The court has no authority to waive photocopying fees for Barringer.
Second, the court sees no need to hold a hearing on Barringer's "Motion for Order of Change of Defendant's Address" or Barringer's "Motion to Amend Defendant Name." Barringer's "Motion for Order of Change of Defendant's Address" and Barringer's "Motion to Amend Defendant Name" have already been noted in the record in this case. Pursuant to D.C. COLO. LCivR 7.1 G., a "motion may be decided on the papers unless oral argument, at the court's discretion, is ordered." (Emphasis added).
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:
1. Barringer's "Motion to Set Hearing for Various Motions" (filed November 8, 2005) (doc. # 28) is DENIED.
2. Barringer's second request for hearing "for all Pending Motions" (filed November 8, 2005) (doc. # 29) is DENIED.
3. Barringer's request for "Waiver of Photo Copy Fees" (filed November 8, 2005) (doc. # 30) is DENIED.
