United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LOUIS CHARLES DANIELS,

Petitioner,

v.

ROBERT K. WONG, warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 10-415 SI (pr)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This action is dismissed because the petition for writ of habeas corpus filed to commence

this action duplicates the petition in Daniels v. Wong, No. C 10-565 SI, which is still pending.

 Duplicative or repetitious litigation of virtually identical causes of action is subject to dismissal

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 as malicious. Bailey v. Johnson, 846 F.2d 1019, 1021 (5th Cir. 1988);

Cato v. United States, 70 F.3d 1103, 1105 n.2 (9th Cir. 1995). The court dismisses the lowernumbered case because the filing fee already has been paid for the higher-numbered case. The

clerk shall close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
