Date Filed Document Text
August 19, 2021 Mailed a copy of #4 Judgment - Sua Sponte (Complaint), #3 Order of Dismissal, to Sean Matthew Finnegan at 470 L'Enfant Plaza SW, Suite 604-44741, Washington, DC 20026. (Attachments: # 1 Pro Se Appeal Package) (dsh)
August 18, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 4 CIVIL JUDGMENT: IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the complaint is dismissed without prejudice to the pending action under docket number ECF 1:21-CV-6515, 2. The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3), that any appeal from the Court's judgment would not be taken in good faith. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court mail a copy of this judgment to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 8/18/2021) (Attachments: #1 Pro Se Appeal Package) (sac) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing.
August 18, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER OF DISMISSAL: Plaintiff, who is appearing pro se, brings this action alleging that Defendants neglected him. The Court dismisses the complaint for the following reasons. Plaintiff has previously submitted to this Court an identical complaint raising the same claim against these Defendants. That case is presently pending before this Court under docket number ECF 1:21-CV-6515, 2. As this complaint raises the same claims, no useful purpose would be served by litigating this duplicate lawsuit. Therefore, this complaint is dismissed without prejudice to Plaintiff's pending case under docket number ECF 1:21-CV-6515, 2. Plaintiff's complaint is dismissed as duplicative. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 8/18/2021) (sac) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing.
