UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAMON JONES,

Plaintiff,

v.

WARDEN JAMES A. YATES, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:07-cv-00310-LJO-NEW (DLB) PC

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION AS

DUPLICATIVE OF CASE NUMBER 1:06-cv01812-AWI-WMW PC, AND DIRECTING

CLERK’S OFFICE TO ADMINISTRATIVELY

CLOSE FILE

(Doc. 1)

Plaintiff Damon Jones (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on December 20,

2006, in the Northern District of California. The action was transferred to this court by order filed

January 18, 2007.

The Court has reviewed the complaint in this action and finds that it is identical to the

complaint in case number 1:06-cv-01812-AWI-WMW PC Jones v. Yates, et al., filed on December

12, 2006. Because the two cases are duplicative and this case was filed more recently, this case shall

be closed. 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This action is dismissed, without prejudice, on the ground that it is duplicative of

case number 1:06-cv-01812-AWI-WMW PC; and
