OBIE L. CRISP, III,

Plaintiff,
13

No. 2:17-cv-1572-EFB P
v.
ORDER
J. BARRETTO, et al.,
15
Defendants.
16
This action was opened with plaintiff’s filing of a complaint, dated July 10, 2017. ECF
17
18
No. 1. Apart from the date, the complaint is identical to a complaint plaintiff previously filed on
19
June 20, 2017, in another action he is litigating. See Crisp v. Barretto, No. 2:17-cv-0580-JAM-
20
DB, ECF No. 10. After the June 20, 2017 complaint was docketed as a “first amended
21
complaint” in the prior action, plaintiff explained that he did not intend to amend his complaint,
22
but to commence an entirely new, but related, action. Id., ECF No. 12. Accordingly, the
23
magistrate judge assigned to Crisp v. Barretto, No. 2:17-cv-0580-JAM-DB, ordered the Clerk of
24
the Court to strike the “first amended complaint,” open a new case with the filing, and assign the
25
new case to the same magistrate judge and district judge. Id., ECF No. 13. The instant action is
26
now duplicative of that new action, designated Crisp v. Barretto, No. 2:17-cv-1577-JAM-DB, and
27
plaintiff shall proceed with his complaint in that action.
