UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

THERON KENNETH HOLSTON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

DIANA MAUCH, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-1939-EFB P (TEMP) 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a county jail inmate proceeding pro se. This proceeding was referred to this 

court by Local Rule 302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and is before the undersigned pursuant 

to plaintiff’s consent. See 28 U.S.C. § 636; ECF No. 5. 

Plaintiff commenced this action by filing a civil rights complaint challenging a parole 

condition that he believes improperly requires him to waive his Fifth Amendment rights against 

self-incrimination. The court’s own records reveal that, prior to filing this action, plaintiff filed a 

civil rights complaint containing virtually identical allegations. (Case No. 2:15-cv-1870 CKD 

P).1

 Due to the duplicative nature of the present action, the court will dismiss plaintiff’s 

complaint.
