UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK JACKIE KENNEDY CONTRACTED; GIAH J. DEFRANCO/LENINGER; RICHARD E. LININGER, Plaintiffs, 20-CV-7518 (CM) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL THE FRANKLIN COUNTY STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA NO 8, et al., Defendants. COLLEEN McMAHON, Chief United States District Judge: Plaintiff Richard E. Lininger, appearing pro se, brings this action, alleging violations of his rights. The Court dismisses the complaint for the following reasons. Plaintiff has previously submitted to this Court a duplicate complaint against the same defendants. That case is presently pending before the Honorable Louis L. Stanton of this Court under docket number 20-CV-6509. As this complaint raises the same claims, no useful purpose would be served by litigating this duplicate lawsuit. Therefore, this complaint is dismissed without prejudice to Plaintiff’s pending case under docket number 20-CV-6509. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. Plaintiff’s complaint is dismissed as duplicative. The Court certifies, pursuant to

(a)(3), that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States,

(1962). SO ORDERED. Dated: October 13, 2020 New York, New York hie l Wek COLLEEN McMAHON Chief United States District Judge
