Copying Services for Inmates

PURPOSE:

Also clarifies the procedures regarding requests for records made during the course of discovery in the following ways: that an inmate is required to produce an order or pleading requiring production of records in order to view records; that with regard to discovery documents copies will not be provided unless the inmate has sufficient funds to cover the cost of the copying; and that the rule does not provide for placement of a lien.
