ORDER

Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion, wherein he requests, for a third time, the Court to order Defendant resubmit to Plaintiff all documents in this case. (Doc. no. 92.) As explained in the Court's June 28, 2019 and September 13, 2019 Orders, Plaintiff is not entitled to free copies of legal documents. (Doc. nos. 81, 91); Wanninger v. Davenport, 697 F.2d 992, 994 (11th Cir. 1983) ("A prisoner's right of access to the court does not include the right of free unlimited access to a photocopying machine . . . ."); see also Jackson v. Florida Dep't of Fin. Servs., 479 F. App'x 289, 292-93 (11th Cir. 2012) ("This Court has never held that a prisoner's right of access to the courts entitles a prisoner-plaintiff, even one proceeding in forma pauperis, to free copies of court documents, including his own pleadings."). Thus, the Court DENIES Plaintiff's motion.

SO ORDERED.
