ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a motion requesting that the court order the law librarian to copy his response to the motion for judgment on the pleadings, including nearly 300 pages of exhibits. ECF No. 89.

As the court has previously explained to plaintiff, defendants have filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, not a motion for summary judgment. ECF No. 79 at 2; ECF No. 84 at 1-2. This means that when deciding the motion, the court will not look at any evidence other than what was filed with the complaint. Plaintiff should send the court only his memorandum in opposition to the motion and his declaration,1 since the court will not look at any of his other exhibits. If plaintiff wants to refer to exhibits that were filed with the complaint, the court will consider those documents, but plaintiff does not need to re-file them.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for copies (ECF No. 89) is denied.

FootNotes


1. The response plaintiff received from prison staff indicated that he would be allowed to make copies of his memorandum. ECF No. 89 at 5.
