The opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
CAROL BROWN,
Plaintiff,
22-CV-0362 (LTS)
-against-
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
CRYSTAL CAMPBELL,
Defendant.
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
Plaintiff, who is appearing pro se, brings this action, alleging that Defendant violated her
rights. The Court dismisses the complaint for the following reasons.
Plaintiff has previously submitted to this Court a substantially similar complaint against
Defendant alleging the same set of facts. That case is presently pending before this Court under
docket number ECF 1:21-CV-10276 (LTS). 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 1:21-CV-10276
(LTS).
CONCLUSION
Plaintiff’s complaint is dismissed without prejudice as duplicative of Plaintiff’s pending
case under docket number 1:21-CV-10276 (LTS).
The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(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, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962).
The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on
the docket.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: January 19, 2022
