The court's own records reveal that petitioner has several cases pending in this district.2 Civil Case 05-1735 DFL CMK, which was filed on August 26, 2005, contains allegations concerning mental health FINDINGS AND RECOMENDATIONS No. CIV S-05-1804 LKK CMK P

evaluations which are almost identical to the allegations against respondents in the September 8, 2005 complaint. Due to the duplicative nature of the present action, the court finds it frivolous and, therefore, will dismiss the petition. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). Petitioner is cautioned that he should refrain from filing duplicative complaints with this court. If he desires to add something to complaints he has already filed, he must seek to amend that complaint; not file a new one. IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). These findings and recommendations are submitted to the District Judge assigned to this case pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within twenty days after being served with these findings and recommendations, petitioner may file written objections with the court. The document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Petitioner is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991). DATED: September 13, 2005.
