GRANT LESLIE WASHAM,

Petitioner,

v.

BRIAN MARTIN,

Respondent.

Case No. 19-cv-02860-JD 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Re: Dkt. No. 4

Petitioner, a detainee, filed a pro se habeas petition. A review of the petition indicates that 

this is a civil rights action. Petitioner seeks relief regarding improper medical care following a car 

accident in a Sheriff’s vehicle. Court records indicate that petitioner already proceeds with a civil 

rights case in this Court concerning the same claim. See Washan v. Martin, Case No. 19-cv-1907 

RS. Petitioner should seek relief in the earlier filed case. This case is DISMISSED as 

duplicative. See Adams v. Cal. Dept. of Health Services, 487 F.3d 684, 688 (9th Cir. 2007). The 

motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Docket No. 4) is GRANTED. A certificate of appealability 

is DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 3, 2019
