April 5, 2019 Filing 4 Judge William G. Young: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. ORDER DISMISSING CASE "This action is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice under the prior pending action doctrine. [A] plaintiff has 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. Montoyo-Rivera v. Pall Life Scis. PR, LLC, 245 F. Supp. 3d 337, 342 (D.P.R. 2017), appeal dismissed, No. 17-1401, 2017 WL 5157542 (1st Cir. Aug. 11, 2017)(quoting Walton v. Eaton Corp., 563 F.2d 66, 70 (3d Cir. 1977) (en banc). Accordingly, the pendency of a prior pending action in the same federal court is ground for abatement of the second action. Id. (quoting Sutcliffe Storage & Warehouse Co. v. United States, 162 F.2d 849, 851 (1st Cir. 1947) (quoting 1 Moore's Federal Practice 237). Here, pro se prisoner plaintiff filed an action styled Amaral v. Thibeault, 19-cv-10453-ADB. As best the Court can discern, the actions are virtually identical. Accordingly, this action is dismissed without prejudice. Because it is unclear whether plaintiff intended to commence a second action in this Court the motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperisis denied as moot and no filing fee is assessed. The Clerk shall enter an order of dismissal without prejudice." (PSSA, 5)
