CHARLES E. THORNTON, Plaintiff, v. MARY JO ZIMMER, et al, Defendants.
ORDER
STACI M. YANDLE, United States District Judge
Before the Court is Plaintiff Charles E. Thornton's pro se motion for a copy of a 1,200-page report of a court-appointed expert in Lippert v. Ghosh, Case No. 10-4603 (N.D. Ill.) (Doc. 199). Generally, the District Clerk will mail paper copies of any document to a party only upon prepayment of the required fee, and the Court is under no obligation to furnish free photocopies to indigent litigants. See Robinson v. Miscellaneous, 2009 WL 1649697, at *4 (E.D. Wis. June 11, 2009).
Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion is DENIED. If Plaintiff wishes to pay for a copy of the requested document, he must contact the Clerk of Court for the Northern District of Illinois and pay the copying fee.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
