JOHMANNI ANDUZE, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF NEW YORK, et al., Defendants.


ORDER :

On January 20, 2021, this Court's Clerk's Office received Plaintiff's complaint brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. See Anduze v. City of New York, ECF 1:21-CV-0519, 2. The complaint, which was typed, was largely unreadable because the ink had run low. The Court therefore granted Plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint under Fed. R. Civ. P. 8. That order, which was signed on February 26, 2021, was entered on the docket on March 1, 2021.

Two days after receiving the first complaint, on January 22, 2021, the Clerk's Office received a new submission from Plaintiff, which is a duplicate of the first complaint, but readable. See Anduze v. City of New York, ECF 1:21-CV-1665, 2.

Because Plaintiff's January 22, 2021 complaint is a duplicate of his January 20, 2021 complaint, but complies with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8, the Court directs the Clerk of Court to: (1) administratively close the action under docket number 21-CV-1665; and (2) file the complaint, which is currently docketed as ECF No. 2 in the action under docket number 21-CV-1665, as an amended complaint in the action under docket number 21-CV-0519. Moving forward, the claims asserted in the 21-CV-1665 action will proceed in the 21-CV-0519 action, and the Court directs Plaintiff to include only docket number 21-CV-0519 on all future documents submitted in the 21-CV-0519 action.

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: (1) administratively close the action under docket number 21-CV-1665; and (2) file the complaint, which is currently docketed as ECF No. 2 in the action under docket number 21-CV-1665, as an amended complaint in the action under docket number 21-CV-0519.

Finally, the Court directs the Clerk of Court to terminate any motions in this action. SO ORDERED. Dated: March 2, 2021

New York, New York
