UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHANE MONROE BOWDEN,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS AND 

REHABILITATION, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-00071-SKO (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT 

TO FILE COMPLAINT IN CASE NO. 

1:19-cv-01769-SAB AND CLOSE CASE

(Doc. 1)

Plaintiff filed a complaint on January 14, 2020 (Doc. 1), which initiated this action. It 

appears, however, that Plaintiff intended the complaint to serve as an amended complaint in a 

preexisting action, Case No. 1:19-cv-01769-SAB. Compare Bowden v. CDCR, No. 1:20-cv00071-SKO (Doc. 1), with Bowden v. CDCR, No. 1:19-cv-01769-SAB (Doc. 1); see also Bowden 

v. CDCR, No. 1:19-cv-01769-SAB (Docs. 5, 11, 12).

Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk of the Court to file Plaintiff’s complaint (Doc. 

1) as an amended complaint in Case No. 1:19-cv-01769-SAB and to close this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 24, 2020 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto .
