UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MIKE BAKER,

Plaintiff,

v.

S. CACOA, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00728 AWI DLB PC

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION AS 

DUPLICATIVE OF 1:15-cv-00693-BAM-PC

AND VACATING ORDER DIRECTING 

CDCR TO COLLECT PAYMENTS FOR 

FILING FEE

[ECF No. 6]

Plaintiff Mike Baker, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil action on May 12, 

2015.

On July 2, 2015, Plaintiff notified the Court of the existence of two cases. Plaintiff explained 

that he only submitted one complaint but two cases have been opened: the instant case and 1:15-cv00693-BAM-PC. The Court has reviewed the complaint in 1:15-cv-693-BAM-PC, and indeed, the 

complaints are identical. 

The instant case, having been filed in error after the first case, must be dismissed as 

duplicative. Under the circumstances, as the second action was opened in error, the Court will 

vacate the May 14, 2015, order requiring CDCR to collect payments for this action.
