ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO DISMISS CASE AS DUPLICATIVE 14 WASCO STATE PRISON, 15 Defendant. 16 ORDER TO ASSIGN DISTRICT JUDGE AND THEN TO CLOSE CASE (Doc. No. 10) 17 18 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief 19 under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 20 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 21 On September 25, 2019, the assigned magistrate judge screened plaintiff’s complaint 22 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a) and determined that the allegations contained therein are 23 duplicative of allegations included in a previously-filed action, Goods v. Wasco State Prison, 24 Case No. 1:19-cv-0661-AWI-SAB. (Doc. No. 8.) Plaintiff was therefore ordered to show cause 25 why this action should not be dismissed as duplicative of the earlier-filed case. (Id.) The period 26 for responding to the Order to Show Cause passed, and plaintiff did not respond. Accordingly, 27 on February 4, 2020, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations recommending 28 dismissal of this action as duplicative. (Doc. No. 10.) Those findings and recommendations 1 1 were served on plaintiff and contained notice to plaintiff that any objections to the findings and 2 recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. (Id.) Plaintiff has not filed objections to 3 the findings and recommendations. 4 The court has reviewed the file and finds the findings and recommendations to be supported 5 by the record and by the magistrate judge’s analysis. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED 6 that: 7 1. The findings and recommendations filed February 4, 2020 (Doc. No. 10) are ADOPTED 8 in full; 9 2. This action is DISMISSED as duplicative of Goods v. Wasco State Prison, Case No. 10 1:19-cv-0661-AWI-SAB; and 11 3. The Clerk of Court is directed to assign a district judge to this case for the purpose of 12 closing the case and then to CLOSE THIS CASE. 13 14 15 IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: April 14, 2020 UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
