Muhammad v. Duffy et al
Filing 6
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER [DISMISSING CASE]: Plaintiff's 2 request to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 is granted for the limited purpose of this Order. The Complaint is nearly identical to prior compl aints plaintiff filed against Wardens Edmund Duffy and Turhan Gumusdere, the former and current wardens of the Anna M. Kross Center on Rikers Island. Plaintiff's claims related to his property at Rikers Island remain pending in Muhammad v. New York City, No. 15-CV-3401. As no useful purpose would be served by the filing and litigation of this duplicate action, the instant complaint is dismissed without prejudice to the litigation pending under Docket Number 15-CV-3401. The cour t certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for purpose of an appeal. SO ORDERED by Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto, on 9/10/2015. C/mailed. (Forwarded for Judgment.) (Latka-Mucha, Wieslawa)
