ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO

SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT AND

DOCKETS IN THIS CASE AND CASE

NUMBER 1:07-CV-00933 

Plaintiff Tarza R. Nelson (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 3, 2008, the Court issued an

order finding service of Plaintiff’s original complaint, filed June 1, 2007, appropriate. On March

12, 2008, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting that the Court correct the record and issue an amended

order. In his motion, Plaintiff states that he submitted an amended complaint on October 31, 2007,

and re-submitted the amended complaint with a motion seeking leave to amend on January 15, 2008.

The Court has reviewed the record in this case and an amended complaint was filed on

November 5, 2007. Further, a motion seeking leave to amend was filed on January 24, 2008.

However, a second amended complaint was not attached to the motion. It has come to the Court’s

attention that Plaintiff is proceeding in a duplicative action, case number 1:07-cv-00933-OWWDLB. Pending in that case is a motion seeking leave to amend filed January 24, 2008, and a lodged

amended complaint. The Court has reviewed the lodged amended complaint and finds it to be the

amended complaint referred to by Plaintiff in this action.

Because case number 1:07-cv-00933-OWW-DLB is duplicative and was filed after this case,

it shall be administratively closed by separate order. The amended complaint lodged in that case

shall be filed in this case and shall be referred to as the second amended complaint.

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for the issuance of an amended screening order, filed March 12,

2008, is GRANTED;

2. The Clerk’s Office shall file the second amended complaint lodged in case number

1:07-cv-00933 in this case; and

3. The Clerk’s Office shall send Plaintiff (1) a courtesy copy of the second amended

complaint, (2) a copy of the docket in this case, and (3) a copy of the docket in case

number 1:07-cv-00933.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
