ORDER
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil rights action. This action was initiated by civil complaint filed in the Central District of California and transferred to this district on September 17, 2007. Plaintiff has been granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
On October 22 and 24, 2007, Plaintiff submitted numerous documents to the court. Plaintiff's submission appears to include original documents. Plaintiff is advised that his complaint will be screened in due course. Until such time as the court issues an order regarding Plaintiff's complaint, Plaintiff need not submit documents to the court. The court cannot serve as a repository for Plaintiff's evidence. Originals or copies of evidence (i.e., prison or medical records, witness affidavits, etc.) should not be submitted until the course of litigation brings the evidence into question (for example, on a motion for summary judgment, at trial, or when requested by the court).
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk's Office shall return to Plaintiff the documents submitted to the court on October 22 and 24, 2007. IT IS SO ORDERED.
