II Duplicative Claims

A complaint that merely repeats pending or previously litigated claims may be

considered abusive and dismissed under the authority of 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Cato v.

United States, 70 F.3d 1103, 1105 n.2 (9th Cir. 1995); Bailey v. Johnson, 846 F.2d 1019,

1021 (5th Cir. 1988). This action is duplicative of an earlier complaint filed in the

United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and is therefore

DISMISSED.

CONCLUSION

For the foregoing reasons and good cause shown, Plaintiff’s action is

DISMISSED. The Clerk of Court shall enter judgment on this matter and close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
