IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES CORNELIUS JAMES,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-10-1171 LKK DAD P

vs.

DEEPAK MEHTA, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner seeking relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May

19, 2010, the court dismissed plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend because it appeared that

the claims plaintiff presented in this action that were duplicative of those presented in another

civil rights action currently pending in this court, James v. Hubbard, 2:08-CV-01857 RRC. The

court advised plaintiff that he should file an amended complaint setting forth only those claims

that were not already alleged in his third amended complaint filed in James v. Hubbard.

On June 2, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration, wherein he explains

that he is precluded in James v. Hubbard from litigating the claims the court deemed duplicative

because he exhausted his administrative remedies with respect to those claims only after he filed

that action. In support of his argument, plaintiff presents for the first time three Director Level

decisions dated in 2010, which relate to the exhaustion of his claims.

May 19, 2010 order (Doc. No. 6) is vacated.

DATED: June 16, 2010.
