UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL A. SAMPSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

E. SALAZAR, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:07-cv-00878-LJO-SMS PC

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO

ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE THIS CASE

ON THE GROUND THAT IT IS

DUPLICATIVE OF CASE NUMBER 1:07-CV00034-OWW-DLB PC

(Doc. 1)

Plaintiff Michael A. Sampson (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action was opened in the

Northern District of California and transferred to this court on June 19, 2007. (Doc. 1.) The Court

has reviewed the amended complaint filed on May 14, 2007, and finds that plaintiff’s claims are

identical to those set forth in case number 1:07-cv-00034-OWW-DLB PC Sampson v. Director of

CDC, et al., filed on January 8, 2007. Therefore, this case shall be closed and the earlier filed case

shall proceed. 

Accordingly, the Clerk’s Office is HEREBY DIRECTED to close this case on the ground

that it is duplicative of case number 1:07-cv-00034-OWW-DLB PC. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 5, 2007 /s/ Lawrence J. O'Neill
