No. C 07-3353 CW (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, filed the instant pro se prisoner

complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff raised the same

allegations in another pending prisoner complaint filed in this

Court. See Berringer v. Salinas Valley State Prison, et al., Case

No. C 06-0270 CW (PR).

A prisoner complaint that merely repeats pending litigated

claims may be considered abusive and dismissed under the authority

of 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Cf. Cato v. United States, 70 F.3d 1103,

1105 n.2 (9th Cir. 1995) (citing Bailey v. Johnson, 846 F.2d 1019,

1021 (5th Cir. 1988)) (duplicative in forma pauperis complaints may

be considered abusive and dismissed under 28 U.S.C. § 1915). 

Therefore, the instant complaint is deemed duplicative and abusive

under § 1915A. 

Plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED and

the complaint is DISMISSED under the authority of 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915A(b).
