ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Defendants.
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
Plaintiff, who is currently detained on Rikers Island, brings this pro se action under 42
U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that Defendants, including former President Donald Trump, violated his
rights. For the following reasons, the complaint is dismissed.
Plaintiff has previously submitted to this court a duplicate complaint against Defendants
alleging the same set of facts. That case is pending before the Court under docket number 22CV-7743 (LTS). Because this complaint raises the same claims, no useful purpose would be
served by the litigation of this duplicate lawsuit. Therefore, this complaint is dismissed without
prejudice to Plaintiff’s pending case under docket number 22-CV-7743.
In light of the Court’s belief that Plaintiff may have submitted this duplicate complaint in
error, the Court directs the Clerk of Court not to charge Plaintiff the $350.00 filing fee for this
action, and the Warden or Superintendent having custody of Plaintiff shall not deduct or
encumber funds from Plaintiff’s prison trust account for this lawsuit.
CONCLUSOIN
The Court dismisses Plaintiff’s complaint as duplicative of No. 22-CV-7743.
