IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GARY BOWMAN, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-08-0812 MCE KJM P

vs.

JAMES TILTON, et al., 

Defendants. FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

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

the court on April 16, 2008. The court’s own records reveal that on October 12, 2007, plaintiff

filed a complaint containing virtually identical allegations against the same defendants. (No.

Civ. S-07-2164 ).1

 Due to the duplicative nature of the present action, the court will recommend

that the complaint be dismissed.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action

be dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the District Judge assigned

to this case pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within twenty days after being

served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written objections with the

court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and

Recommendations.” Plaintiff is 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).
