11 DARREN HARRIS, No. 2:19-cv-1406 KJN P
12 Plaintiff,
13 v. ORDER AND FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
14 JERRY BROWN, et al.,
15 Defendants.
16
17 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel.1 Plaintiff’s complaint was filed
18 with the court on July 24, 2019. The court’s own records reveal that on May 16, 2019, plaintiff
19 filed a complaint containing virtually identical allegations. (Harris v. Jerry Brown, No. 2:19-cv-
20 0311 KJM CKD P (E.D. Cal.).2 Due to the duplicative nature of the present action, the court will
21 recommend that the complaint be dismissed.
22 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to assign
23 a district judge to this case; and
24 ////
25 1 Plaintiff added the names of other inmates to the caption of his complaint, but none of the other
inmates signed the pleading. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11. Also, plaintiff proceeds pro se and may not file
26
claims on behalf of other individuals. Thus, this action proceeds solely as to plaintiff Harris.

2 A court may take judicial notice of court records. See MGIC Indem. Co. v. Weisman, 803 F.2d
28 500, 505 (9th Cir. 1986); United States v. Wilson, 631 F.2d 118, 119 (9th Cir. 1980).
1 IT IS RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ.
2 | P.41b).
3 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the District Judge assigned to this
4 | case pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Within fourteen days after being served
5 | with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written objections with the court.
6 | The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and
7 | Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time
8 || may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. YIst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th
9 | Cir. 1991).
