UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On March 6, 2017, Plaintiff filed a complaint in the above captioned case (the “March 6 

case”). The Complaint indicates that it concerns claims under Title VII, and that it involves 

Plaintiff’s termination from Defendant on April 28, 2016. Plaintiff is proceeding pro se.

On March 20, 2017, a new case was opened in this Court involving Plaintiff. In Case No. 

1:17-cv-0400 DAD EPG (the “March 20 case”), Plaintiff indicates that he is bringing claims under 

Title VII and that his termination on April 28, 2016 is involved. Wespak is named as a defendant 

in both the March 6 and March 20 cases, but the March 20 case adds J.V. Farm Labor Services as 

a defendant. 

Given the allegations in both the March 6 and March 20 cases, and especially considering 

Plaintiffs’ pro se status, it appears to the Court that the Complaint in the March 20 case is meant to 

be an amended complaint in the March 6 case. Under these circumstances, it is appropriate to 

transfer the filings in the March 20 case to the March 6 case and close the March 20 case as 

duplicative.
