IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD J. LEWIS, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1044 DFL GGH P

vs.

M. PEREZ, et al.,

Defendants. FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff’s complaint was filed with

the court on May 26, 2005. Plaintiff paid the filing fee of $250.00. The court’s own records

reveal that on April 27, 2005, plaintiff filed a complaint and paid a filing fee of $250.00,

containing virtually identical allegations against the same defendants. (No. CIV S-05-0831 GEB

JFM P).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that due to the duplicative

nature of the present action this case be dismissed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); and the Financial

Department of the Court be directed to refund plaintiff’s payment of $250.00. 

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District

Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within twenty

days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Any reply to the objections

shall be served and filed within ten days after service of the objections. The parties are advised

that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District

Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
