UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES L. THOMPSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

C/O MORALES, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:04-cv-06554-LJO-SMS PC

ORDER STRIKING DUPLICATIVE MOTION

(Doc. 71)

Plaintiff James L. Thompson (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 9, 2007, plaintiff filed

a motion seeking an order commanding the preservation of evidence, and on August 13, 2007,

plaintiff filed a motion to compel. (Docs. 67, 70, 72.) On August 14, 2007, the Clerk’s Office

docketed a second motion seeking an order commanding the preservation of evidence, also filed on

August 9, 2007. (Doc. 71.) The two motions regarding the preservation of evidence are virtually

identical, except for an additional few sentences and the inclusion of an exhibit, both in the first

motion.

Given that the motions are virtually identical and the first filed motion is the more complete

of the two, the second motion is HEREBY ORDERED STRICKEN from the record as duplicative

(doc. 71).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
