STEPHEN-PHILBERT RENAUD, Petitioner, v. DONALD TRUMP; JOHN ROBERTS, JR.; NANCY PELOSI; CHARLES GRASSLEY; WILLIAM BARR; UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondents.
ORDER :
Petitioner, currently incarcerated in Green Haven Correctional Facility, brings this action pro se. On November 2, 2020, the Court received a single petition from Petitioner. It appears that the petition was docketed twice and opened as two new civil actions: No. 20-CV-9386 (CM) and No. 20-CV-9248 (CM).
The Court has reviewed the petitions in both actions and concludes that because they are identical, this action (No. 20-CV-9386) was opened in error. The Court therefore orders that the Clerk of Court administratively close this action, No. 20-CV-9386 (CM). Petitioner's other action, No. 20-CV-9248 (CM), will proceed.
CONCLUSION
The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket.
The Clerk of Court is further directed to administratively close this action, No. 20-CV-9386 (CM).
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. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). SO ORDERED. Dated: November 20, 2020
New York, New York
