Opinion
Case No. 11-CV-13233
01-30-2012
LaSHAWN YOUNG, Plaintiff, v. COMMUNITY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE, INC., et al., Defendants.
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF IN FORMA PAUPERIS
STATUS AND DISMISSING CASE
On July 25, 2011, plaintiff LaShawn Young, appearing pro se, filed the present case. Based upon the information in the Application to Proceed in Forma Pauperis, the court grants plaintiff in forma pauperis status pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. On August 16, 2011, the court entered an order in Case No. 10-14717, allowing plaintiff to amend his complaint against defendant Community Emergency Medical Service, Inc., in order to add claims asserted in this lawsuit. The court stated that this lawsuit, Case No. 11-13233, is duplicative and unnecessary because of the earlier-filed suit. The court thus ordered that the present action would be dismissed upon the filing of plaintiff's amended complaint in Case No. 10-14717. On January 12, 2012, the court entered another order instructing that this case would be dismissed after plaintiff filed his amended complaint in Case No. 10-14717. Plaintiff filed his amended complaint in Case No. 10-14717 on January 26, 2012 and this case is therefore DISMISSED. IT IS SO ORDERED.
