UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

VIRGIL DOUGLAS RANDALL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SACRAMENTO STATE PRISONFOLSOM, 

Defendant.

 No. 2:16-cv-1567 AC P 

ORDER 

 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this putative civil rights action. 

Plaintiff has consented to the jurisdiction of the undersigned Magistrate Judge for all purposes 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), and Local Rule 305(a). See ECF No. 9. 

 Plaintiff’s initial complaint in this action was filed on June 27, 2016; on August 17, 2016, 

plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The court’s records reveal that on October 2, 2015, plaintiff 

filed a complaint containing virtually identical allegations in Case No. 2:15-cv-02120 DB P.1 

Plaintiff’s most recent filing in that case was on November 17, 2016. Due to the duplicative 

nature of the instant action, this action will be dismissed.

500, 505 (9th Cir. 1986); United States v. Wilson, 631 F.2d 118, 119 (9th Cir. 1980).
