ANTHONY LAWRENCE GARCIA, Plaintiff, v. DR. WRIGHT, individually and as a Centennial Correctional Facility physician, and DR. WHITE, individually and as a Buena Vista Correctional Complex physician, Defendants.
MINUTE ORDER
ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion for Copies of Discovery [Docket No. 74; July 25, 2012] (the "Motion"). Although Plaintiff proceeds in this matter pro se, he must comply with the same rules of procedure that govern other litigants. See Green v. Dorrell, 969 F.2d 915, 917 (10th Cir. 1992); see also Nielsen v. Price, 17 F.3d 1276, 1277 (10th Cir. 1994). The Court may not order other parties to supply him with multiple copies of discovery or other litigation paperwork; rather, Plaintiff, despite proceeding in forma pauperis [#3], is responsible for making his own copies, which, in some instances, may include handwriting his own copies. See Cole v. Pugh, No. CIVA-06CV-01392-BNB, 2006 WL 3328195, at *2 (D. Colo. Nov. 15, 2006); Hagan v. Credit Union of Am., No. 11-1131-JTM, 2011 WL 6739595, at *2 (D. Kan. Dec. 22, 2011). Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion [#74] is DENIED.
