CURTIS DARBY, Plaintiff, v. NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT, Defendant.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
JOHN GLEESON, United States District Judge:
Pro se plaintiff Curtis Darby currently has two cases pending in this Court against the New York City Police Department. The first, docketed under number 14-cv-4078, was originally filed in the Southern District of New York and transferred to this Court on June 30, 2014. See No. 14-cv-4078, Transfer Order, June 30, 2014, ECF No. 3. The second case, docketed as number 14-cv-4682, was filed in this Court on August 1, 2014. See No. 14-cv-4682, Compl., Aug. 1, 2014, ECF No. 1. Both cases complain of the same alleged police misconduct.
On September 5, 2014, the Court received a letter from Darby making clear that he wants the August 1, 2014, complaint in the case docketed as 14-cv-4682 to instead be considered an amended complaint in the case docketed as 14-cv-4078. See No. 14-4078, Letter, Sept. 5, 2014, ECF No. 11. Accordingly, rather than have two duplicative cases, the Clerk is respectfully directed to file the complaint from the 14-cv-4682 case as an amended complaint in the 14-cv-4078 case and to close the 14-cv-4682 case. All future filings shall only be docketed in the 14-cv-4078 case.
So ordered.
