ORDER

Pro se Plaintiff David Perryman presently has three

actions pending in this Court, all of which are civil rights

complaints under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the San Francisco

Sheriff’s Department (“SFSD”). All three actions contain

substantially similar allegations that SFSD deputies were 

deliberately indifferent to Plaintiff’s serious medical needs while

he was a pre-trial detainee at the San Francisco County Jail and

that they used excessive force against him while transporting him

from one cell to another. See Perryman v. San Francisco Sheriff’s

Dep’t., No. C-10-3174 TEH (filed July 20, 2010); Perryman v. San

Francisco Sheriff’s Dep’t., No. C-10-4125 TEH (filed Sept. 14,

2010); Perryman v. San Francisco Sheriff’s Dep’t., No. C-10-4903 TEH

(filed Oct. 28, 2010). These three actions are strikingly similar –

if not outright identical – to earlier actions Plaintiff filed that

ultimately were dismissed for failure either to pay the filing fee

or submit a completed in forma pauperis application and for failure

to prosecute. See Perryman v. San Francisco Sheriff’s Dep’t., No.

C-08-4973 TEH (filed Oct. 30, 2008) (failure to prosecute); Perryman

v. San Francisco Sheriff’s Dep’t., No. C-10-1419 TEH (filed April 5,

2010) (failure to pay filing fee/submit timely completed in forma

pauperis application). 

After carefully reviewing all documents filed in the three

pending actions, as well as the documents filed in the two closed

actions, and good cause appearing, the Court orders as follows:

1. The actions filed as Perryman v. San Francisco

Sheriff’s Dep’t., No. C-10-3174 TEH (filed July 20, 2010), Perryman

v. San Francisco Sheriff’s Dep’t., No. C-10-4125 TEH (filed Sept.

14, 2010) and Perryman v. San Francisco Sheriff’s Dep’t., No. C-10-

4903 TEH (filed Oct. 28, 2010) are DISMISSED. The clerk is directed

to terminate any pending motions in these actions and close the

files.

2. The clerk is directed to VACATE the judgment in the

action filed as Perryman v. San Francisco Sheriff’s Dep’t., No. C08-4973 TEH (filed October 30, 2008) (Doc. #21) and REOPEN the

action. An initial order regarding this action will issue shortly. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
