MICHAEL WILLIAMS, Plaintiff, v. DWIGHT W. NEVEN, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
(Docket No. 2)
I. DISCUSSION
Plaintiff has filed a motion to extend his copy work limit. (ECF No. 2). An inmate has no constitutional right to free photocopying. Johnson v. Moore, 948 F.2d 517, 521 (9th Cir. 1991). Pursuant to NDOC administrative regulation 722.01(7)(D), inmates "can only accrue a maximum of $100 debt for copy work expenses for all cases, not per case." In this District, courts have found that they can order a prison to provide limited photocopying when it is necessary for an inmate to provide copies to the court and other parties. See Allen v. Clark Cnty. Det. Ctr., 2:10-CV-00857-RLH, 2011 WL 886343, *2 (D. Nev. Mar. 11, 2011). In this case, the Court grants Plaintiff's request to extend his copy work account limit by another $10.00.
II. CONCLUSION
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion to extend his copy work account (ECF No. 2) is GRANTED in the amount of $10.00. The Nevada Department of Corrections shall extend Plaintiff's prison copy work limit by another $10.00.
Dated this 10th day of March, 2016.
