Date Filed Document Text
April 1, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 16 MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS by Magistrate Judge Gail J. Standish re: Request to Proceed In Forma Pauperis #10 , First Amended Complaint, #7 , Certificate/Notice of Interested Parties #11 , Request to Proceed In Forma Pauperis #9 , Request for Order for Summons #13 . On March 29, 2021, the Clerk's Office received various documents from Plaintiffs electronically, including a complaint and requests to proceed in forma pauperis. A review of the March 29 complaint, in comparison to the Complaint in this action, revealed that both pleadings stem from the same incident and seek to assert federal civil rights and state law tort claims against many of the same defendants. "Plaintiffs generally have 'no right to maintain two separate actions involving the same subject matter at the same time in the same court and against the same defendant.'" Adams v. Calif. Dept of Health Services, 487 F.3d 684, 688 (9th Cir. 2007) (citation omitted) (affirming the dismissal of a later-filed duplicative lawsuit). A plaintiff must bring one action against a party or privies relating to the same transaction or event. Id. at 693. Given this rule, the Court assumed that the complaint received on March 29, 2021, was intended to serve as an amended complaint in this action, and directed that it be so filed in this case, along with the documents submitted with it. Accordingly, the documents received on March 29, 2021, were filed and docketed in this case as Nos. 7, 9-11, and 13. Accordingly, the Clerk's Office is DIRECTED to strike Docket Nos. 7, 9-11, and 13 from this action. Those same documents, which were received from Plaintiffs electronically on March 29, 2021, shall be utilized to initiate a new case, bearing a distinct case number, and shall be filed within that new case. As with this action, Plaintiffs are seeking leave to proceed on an in forma pauperis basis in the new case. (efc)

Given the Requests to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, 28 U.S.C. 1915(a) and (e)(2) mandate that this Court review the Requests and screen the First Amended Complaint before this action will be authorized to proceed. Screening will occur and be completed as soon as is feasible.
