ORDER
GEORGE FOLEY JR., Magistrate Judge
This matter is before the Court on Defendant Ganiu Kosoko’s Motion to Proceed Pro Se (#172), filed July 8, 2010.
Defendant Kosoko requests that the Court issue a written order stating that he is proceeding pro se so that he might show the order to the prison staff. The Court will grant this request and have the Clerk of the Court provide Plaintiff with a copy of the docket report that contains entry #153, which contains the minutes of the proceeding in which the Court granted Kosoko’s motion to proceed pro se.
In addition, Kosoko requests that the Court order prison officials to take him to a “court-approved” law library as he finds the jail library to be inadequate. (#172). While Kosoko is proceeding pro se in this case, the Court has appointed standby counsel for Defendant. (See #153). If Kosoko feels the materials at the prison library are inadequate, he should request the assistance of standby counsel to obtain specific materials.
Defendant also repeats his request that the Court order the government to provide him with all discovery previously produced in this action. (#172); (see also #142, #166). On July 6, 2010, the Court denied a previous request for discovery from Defendant Kosoko and instructed him to seek the requested material from his standby counsel. (#170).
