RONNIE ABRAMS, United States District Judge: Petitioner, appearing pro se, petitions for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

, “challenging the unethical research that is being conducted on [him] via various environmental exposures on [his] body compounded by a nefarious use of statistics to justify exclusionist behavioral economic policy.” Pet. at 2. The Court dismisses the petition as duplicative of a pending case. Petitioner has previously filed a substantially similar complaint against Defendant Environmental Protection Agency alleging that he is a “non consent human research subject under the color law of policy enforcement.” That case is presently pending before the Honorable Mary Kay Vyskocil of this Court under docket number 20-cv-9700, Tessema v EPA. As the complaint in that action raises substantially the same claims as the instant petition, the petition is dismissed. See Curtis v. Citibank, N.A.,

(2d Cir. 2000) (“As part of its general power to administer its docket, a district court may stay or dismiss a suit that is duplicative of another federal court suit.”). Because Petitioner has not at this time made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue. See

. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail a copy of this order to Petitioner.
