ORDER and FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 14 A. HUBBARD, et al., 15 Defendants. 16 17 Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se. Plaintiff’s complaint was filed with the 18 court on November 20, 2019. The court’s own records reveal that on November 20, 2019, 19 plaintiff filed a complaint containing virtually identical allegations. (2:19-cv-2350 JAM AC P.)1 20 Due to the duplicative nature of the present action, the court recommends that the complaint 21 herein be dismissed.2 22 1 A court may take judicial notice of court records. See MGIC Indem. Co. v. Weisman, 803 F.2d 23 500, 505 (9th Cir. 1986); United States v. Wilson, 631 F.2d 118, 119 (9th Cir. 1980). 24 2 The instant action and case 19-2350 allege that defendant A. Hubbard refused to file plaintiff’s complaint against Magistrate Judge Stormes. The allegations against defendant Hubbard in both 25 actions are identical. The only difference between the instant action and case 19-2350, is that in the instant action, plaintiff lists Judge Stormes as a defendant in the caption of the complaint. 26 However, Judge Stormes is not named as a defendant in the section of the complaint where 27 plaintiff identifies the defendants. (See ECF No. 1 at 2.) In addition, the complaint includes no allegations against Judge Stormes. For these reasons, it does not appear that plaintiff intends to 28 name Judge Stormes as a defendant in the instant action. However, if plaintiff did intend to name 1 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to assign 2 | adistrict judge to this case; and 3 IT IS RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice.
