ORDER
ALLISON CLAIRE, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, has filed a motion for a court order directing the law library to provide him with legal copies. ECF No. 42. Plaintiff alleges that the librarian refused to copy his motion to compel discovery because the motion is twenty-five pages and there are seventy-nine pages of exhibits, thereby exceeding the fifty-page limit for indigent inmates. Id. at 2-3. He claims that he is unable to obtain a copy without an order from the court. Id. However, the court has already received plaintiff's motion to compel, which consists of 136 pages.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for court ordered copies, ECF No. 42, is denied as moot.
