Case No. 2:17-cv-00498-APG-PAL

Plaintiff,

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S
OFFICE TO FILE COMPLAINT IN
THIS CASE IN CASE NO. 2:15-CV01212-GMN-NJK AND TO CLOSE
THIS CASE

v.
ALYN BECK, et al.,
Defendants.

9
10

On February 16, 2017, plaintiff Manuel Ramos-Rodriguez filed a complaint which the

11

clerk’s office docketed as a new action. ECF No. 1. Magistrate Judge Leen then directed Ramos-

12

Rodriguez to complete an application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee. ECF No.

13

2. Ramos-Rodriguez complied, but he also sent a notice to the court inquiring why his case was

14

assigned a new case number when he intended that his complaint be the amended complaint in

15

case number 2:15-cv-01212-GMN-NJK. ECF No. 6.

16

In light of Ramos-Rodriguez’s explanation that this case was opened in error, I will direct

17

the clerk’s office to file the complaint docketed in this case at ECF No. 1-1 in case number 2:15-

18

cv-01212-GMN-NJK as if it had been filed in that case as of February 16, 2017. I further will

19

instruct the clerk of court to close this case. Ramos-Rodriguez is advised that he should ensure

20

his future submissions to the court bear the correct caption and case number to avoid confusion in

21

the future and to ensure his documents are properly filed.

22

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the clerk of court shall take the complaint that is

23

docketed in this case at ECF No. 1-1 and file it in case number 2:15-cv-01212-GMN-NJK as if it

24

were filed on February 16, 2017 in that case. The clerk of court is instructed to close this case.

25

DATED this 12th day of April, 2017.
