Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner at High Desert State Prison who proceeds pro se with this civil
17
18
rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and request to proceed in forma pauperis.
19
Plaintiff has consented to the jurisdiction of the undersigned Magistrate Judge for all purposes
20
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), and Local Rule 305(a). See ECF No. 4.
21
The court’s own records1 reveal that the instant complaint contains identical allegations to
22
those pursued by plaintiff in a prior action filed in this court. See Delgado v. Santana et al., Case
23
No. 2:14-cv-00634 CMK P, ECF No. 13 (First Amended Complaint). The prior case reached a
24
stipulated settlement which plaintiff continues to contest. See id., ECF Nos. 27 et seq. In the

This court may take judicial notice of its own records and the records of other courts. See
United States v. Howard, 381 F.3d 873, 876 n.1 (9th Cir. 2004); United States v. Wilson, 631
F.2d 118, 119 (9th Cir. 1980); see also Fed. R. Evid. 201 (court may take judicial notice of facts
that are capable of accurate determination by sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be
questioned).

present action, plaintiff asserts that he was “coerced to dismiss” his prior action and has
2
resubmitted it “with the hopes of having this action properly processed.” See ECF No. 1 at 8.
3
Plaintiff must pursue these contentions in Delgado v. Santana et al., Case No. 2:14-cv-00634
4
CMK P. Due to the duplicative nature of plaintiff’s actions, the instant action must be dismissed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
6
1. This action is dismissed with prejudice because duplicative, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b);

and
2. Plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis, ECF No. 5, is denied as moot.
