UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 MARTIN J. CORTES-SALCEDO, No. 2:20-cv-0088 DB P Plaintiff, v. ORDER AND FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS

HECTOR CORTEZ, Defendant. 16 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff’s complaint was filed with the court on January 13, 2020. The court’s own records reveal that on December 30, 2019, plaintiff filed a complaint containing virtually identical allegations. Cortes-Salcedo v. Shasta Co. Sheriff, et al., No. 2:19-cv-2627 EFB P (E.D. Cal.). Due to the duplicative nature of the present action, this court will recommend that the complaint be dismissed. Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court IS HEREBY ORDERED to assign a district judge to this case; and IT IS RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). //// 27 1 A court may take judicial notice of court records. See MGIC Indem. Co. v. Weisman, 803 F.2d 500, 505 (9th Cir. 1986); United States v. Wilson,…
