KELVIN CANNON, Plaintiff, v. FNU GALLAGHER, ET. AL., Defendants.
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S SECOND MOTION FOR COPIES OF DEPOSITION TRANSCRIPT (DOC. NO. 82)
HELENA M. BARCH-KUCHTA, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pending before the Court is Plaintiff's motion requesting a copy of his deposition transcript, filed on July 29, 2021. (Doc. No. 82, “Motion”). Plaintiff states that defense counsel recently denied him a “complimentary copy” of his deposition transcript. (Id. at 1).
A review of the docket shows the Court previously denied Plaintiff's prior motion for a copy of the deposition transcript. (Doc. No. 79). As the Court explained at length in its July 9, 2021 order, in forma pauperis status does not entitle a litigant to free, unlimited copies. (Id. at 3). Additionally, Plaintiff should already have a copy of the portions of the deposition transcript attached to Defendants' motion for summary judgment. (Id. at 4). The instant Motion does not state that Plaintiff was not served a copy of the Defendants' motion for summary judgment and attachments thereto. (See generally Doc. No. 82). Nor does Plaintiff explain why he requires a complete copy of the transcript. (Id.). For the reasons set forth in the Court's July 9 Order, Plaintiff second motion for copies of the deposition transcript is denied.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED:
Plaintiffs motion requesting a copy of his deposition transcript (Doc. No. 82) is DENIED.
