UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CEDRIC EUGENE GREEN,

Plaintiff,

v.

STUART SHERMAN, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01550 LJO DLB PC

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION AS 

DUPLICATIVE OF 1:15-cv-01548 DLB PC

AND VACATING ORDER DIRECTING 

CDCR TO COLLECT PAYMENTS FOR 

FILING FEE

[ECF No. 4]

Plaintiff Cedric Eugene Green, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil action on

October 13, 2015.

It has come to the Court’s attention that Plaintiff filed another civil rights complaint on the 

same date in case no. 1:15-cv-01548 DLB PC. The Court has reviewed the complaints in both cases, 

and the instant complaint is essentially duplicative of the first. Plaintiff may not pursue two actions 

based on the same claims against the same defendants. The instant case, having been filed after the 

first case, must be dismissed as duplicative. Under the circumstances, the Court will vacate the 

October 20, 2015, order requiring CDCR to collect payments for this action.
