8 Plaintiff, ORDER OF DISMISSAL v. 9

10 EUGENE CRAYTON, et al., Defendants. 11

12 13 Plaintiff Jonathan Christopher Coffer, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed the instant 14 civil rights lawsuit challenging his medical care at Salinas Valley State Prison. ECF No. 1. 15 Plaintiff now seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to

. ECF No. 6. 16 The Court is required to screen pro se complaints and dismiss claims that, amount other things, are 17 frivolous, malicious, or fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. 28 U.S.C. 18 § 1915(e)(2). 19 A complaint may be dismissed as frivolous if it merely “repeats pending or previously 20 litigated claims.” Cato v. United States,

, 1105 n.2 (9th Cir. 1995) (citations and 21 quotations omitted). “Dismissal of the duplicative lawsuit, more so than the issuance of a stay or 22 the enjoinment of proceedings, promotes judicial economy and the comprehensive disposition of 23 litigation.” Adams v. California,

, 688 (9th Cir. 2007), overruled on other grounds 24 by Taylor v. Sturgell,

(2008). 25 Upon review, the Court finds that this action is an identical copy of the action filed by 26 Plaintiff days earlier, Case No. 25-cv-02670-EKL. As such, this action is subject to dismissal as 27 frivolous. See

(e)(2)(B)(i). The complaint is DISMISSED as duplicative. 1 The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and close the file. 2 IT IS SO ORDERED. 3 || Dated: May 5, 2025 4 5 Eumi K. Lee 6 United States District Judge 7 8 9 10 11 12
