ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Defendants.
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
Plaintiff, who is appearing pro se, brings this action alleging that Defendants
discriminated against her in violation of various federal employment discrimination statutes. An
identical complaint filed by Plaintiff was recently opened in this court under docket number 24CV-3320 (RA). 1 That action is currently pending before the Honorable Ronnie Abrams.
Because it appears that Plaintiff submitted one complaint, the Court believes this action
was opened in error. No useful purpose would be served by the filing and litigation of this
duplicate lawsuit. The Court therefore dismisses this action as opened in error and without
prejudice to Plaintiff’s pending action under docket number 24-CV-3320 (RA).
CONCLUSION
The Court dismisses this action without prejudice to Plaintiff’s action pending under
docket number 24-CV-3320 (RA).

The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment dismissing this action without prejudice
to Plaintiff’s action pending under docket number 24-CV-3320 (RA).
SO ORDERED.
