NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN L DAVIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

SAN FRANCISCO SHERIFF'S 

DEPARTMENT,

Defendant.

Case No.16-cv-05035-JD 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, a detainee, has filed a pro se civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He 

has been granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff states that jail officials are violating 

his constitutional rights with regards to his legal mail. However, plaintiff proceeds with an earlier 

filed case also concerning the violation of his rights by jail officials. Davis v. Suhr, 16-4487 JD. 

In the earlier case plaintiff was not clear about how his rights were violated and he failed to 

identify any specific defendants. By concurrent order that case is dismissed with leave to amend. 

This case is DISMISSED as duplicative. See Adams v. Cal. Dept. of Health Services, 487 F.3d 

684, 688 (9th Cir. 2007). Plaintiff shall present his claims regarding his legal mail in the amended 

complaint in Davis v. Suhr, 16-4487 JD.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 16, 2016
