, asserting claims of malicious prosecution.1 Plaintiff has previously submitted to this court a substantially similar complaint against the same defendants regarding the same events.

Because the present complaint raises the same claims, no useful purpose would be service by litigation of this duplicate lawsuit. Moreover, because this complaint is identical to Plaintiff’s previous complaint, but includes several additional pages of attachments, it is likely that Plaintiff intended to submit this pleading as an amended complaint in case number 21-CV-2383 (CM). Accordingly, the Court directs the Clerk of Court to: (1) file the complaint in this case (ECF 1) as an amended complaint in the action under docket number 21-CV-2383 (CM);
