FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
DALE A. DROZD, Magistrate Judge.
Pending before the court is plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff seeks leave to file a complaint but has not submitted any proposed complaint. Plaintiff also has not submitted an affidavit in support of the motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff has now filed four actions in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California.
The first action was case number 2:06-cv-00384 FCD GGH PS and alleged claims against the United States Post Office, the Equal Opportunity Commission, and Office of Worker's Compensation. That action was dismissed after the assigned district judge adopted the findings and recommendations that defendants' motion to dismiss and for summary judgment be granted. (Dckt. nos. 95, 96.) Plaintiff was declared a vexatious litigant in that action. (Dckt. no. 116.) In the second action, case number, 2:10-at-00024, a complaint was filed against various governmental officials on January 7, 2010 and the action was closed on January 11, 2010. Plaintiff filed a third action was filed in this court on May 28, 2010, 2:10-cv-01328 GEB KJN PS, against a towing company, and was summarily dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. (Dckt. no. 5.)
In the present action, plaintiff has filed no complaint but asserts that he want to file a claim about injuries incurred as a Postal Employee. Plaintiff resigned from his employment with the Post Office effective March 18, 2005. See case no. 2:06-cv-00384 FCD GGH PS, dckt. no. 90 at 2:5-6. All of plaintiff's claims related to his employment and injury were fully adjudicated in that prior civil action. Under these circumstances, plaintiff's claims are either barred by the doctrine of res judicata or barred by the statute of limitations.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed and the case closed.
These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Any reply to the objections shall be served and filed within seven days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
