E.I.C., Petitioner, v. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, Respondent.
Case No. 4:25-cv-21-CDL-AGH
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA COLUMBUS DIVISION
April 14, 2025
28 U.S.C. § 2241
On March 18, 2025, Petitioner filed a motion seeking copies of documents that he filed in this case based on his indigent status (ECF No. 11). However, indigent status by itself is not a basis for the Court to provide copies to a litigant at the Government‘s expense. See Easley v. Dep‘t of Corr., 590 F. App‘x 860, 868 (11th Cir. 2014) (citing Tabron v. Grace, 6 F.3d 147, 159 (3d Cir. 1993)). Further, as the Clerk‘s office notified Petitioner, he may obtain copies for a nominal fee. See Letter, Mar. 18, 2025, ECF No. 12). Consequently, Petitioner‘s motion seeking copies of documents (ECF No. 11) is DENIED.
SO ORDERED, this 14th day of April, 2025.

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
