Court: United States District Court, W.D. Michigan, Southern Division

Date published: Jan 7, 2011

Case No. 1:10-cv-1233 (W.D. Mich. Jan. 7, 2011)

Opinion

Case No. 1:10-cv-1233.

January 7, 2011

ORDER

PAUL MALONEY, Chief District Judge

This is a civil rights action brought by two state prisoners pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The complaint, which was filed in Kalamazoo on December 13, 2010, appears to be a copy of a complaint filed in Grand Rapids on December 9, 2010. See Gresham et al. v. Smith et al., No. 1:10-cv-1215 (W.D. Mich.). Because Plaintiffs' complaint is duplicative of the earlier filed case, the Court will dismiss the instant action without prejudice.
