John Ray Dynes (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the complaint commencing

this action on January 28, 2008. (Doc. 1.) The case proceeded to jury trial on April 14, 2010,

and judgment for defendants was entered on April 15, 2010. (Doc. 127.) Plaintiff filed two

notices of appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, one on April 19, 2010, and one on April

28, 2010. (Docs. 131, 137.) On May 6, 2010, Plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss the appeal he

filed on April 28, 2010. (Doc. 145.)

Plaintiff indicates that he filed the April 28, 2010 appeal in error, and the April 28, 2010

appeal is duplicative of the appeal he filed on April 19, 2010. For these reasons, and good cause

appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion to dismiss the appeal he filed on April 28, 2010 is GRANTED;
