February 3, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER: The instant lawsuit appears to be duplicative of two other lawsuits pending in this District, Brown v. Reeva, et al., No. 21-cv-00090-SPM (S.D. Ill. filed Jan. 22, 2021) ("original lawsuit") and Brown v. Reeva, et al., No. 21-cv-00091-NJR (S.D. Ill. Filed January 25, 2021)("second lawsuit").

Therefore, Plaintiff is hereby ORDERED to advise the Court, in writing in this case (No. 21-cv-00120-SMY), on or before March 5, 2021 whether he intends to pursue this action.
