PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.
This matter is before the court on Plaintiff Victor Tagle's Motion to Request File, Acknowledge Punishment of the Fraud Perpetrators Committed on Plaintiff's Cases (ECF No. 88), and Motion for Case Information (ECF No. 89). These Motions are referred to the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and LR IB 1-3 and 1-7 of the Local Rules of Practice. The court has considered the Motions, Responses (ECF Nos. 98, 102), and Reply (ECF No. ).
Mr. Tagle is a pro se prisoner in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections ("NDOC"). Since 2003, he has filed seven habeas actions and 26 civil rights actions in the District of Nevada, 18 of which are open and active.
As a preliminary matter, the court notes that parts of Mr. Tagle's motions are almost unreadable because his handwriting is illegible. The court will therefore summarize the motions to the best of its ability. Tagle is advised to make sure that his filings are written clearly and legibly so that his positions are fully understood.
Mr. Tagle filed this motion in this case and three others, Case Nos. 2:15-cv-00623-APG-GWF, 2:15-cv-02082-JCM-VCF, and 2:15-cv-01402-JAD-VCF. The motions are duplicate requests for relief. The court has previously informed Tagle that filing multiple motions requesting the same relief is an abusive litigation tactic that taxes the resources of the court and all of the parties to a lawsuit. See Tagle v. Clark County, 2:15-cv-00881-JCM-PAL, Nov. 3, 2015 Order (ECF No. 63). Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that sanctions may be imposed on an unrepresented party who signs a paper that is either filed with the court for an improper purpose or is frivolous. See Nugget Hydroelectric, L.P. v. Pacific Gas & Elec. Co., 981 F.2d 429, 439 (9th Cir. 1992) (upholding Rule 11 sanctions because a party's second motion to compel largely duplicated the first) (citing Townsend v. Holman Consulting Corp., 929 F.3d 1358. 1362 (9th Cir. 1990) (en banc)).
Once a motion is filed, filing a duplicate motion will not speed up the court's review of a movant's request since motions are generally addressed in the order which they were filed. To the contrary, filing duplicate motions increases the court's workload and generally delays decision while a new round of responses and reply deadlines run. Mr. Tagle is again warned that continued motion practice requesting relief that has already been denied, filing duplicative motions, or making frivolous, unsupported requests may result in the imposition of sanctions, including a recommendation to the district judge that he be declared a vexatious litigant or that this case be dismissed.
In this motion, Tagle asserts that the prison librarian, Paula Simmons, and a library clerk tried to deceive him into signing documents, which they claimed would release him from prison, without letting him review the documents. He states that he never requested help from the prison library staff, and no motion was ever filed on this issue. Thus, he asks the court to discipline such fraud and abuse. Mr. Tagle provides no factual support or legal authority for his request. The motion is denied.
Mr. Tagle filed the Motion for Case Information in this case and six others, Case Nos. 2:13cv-01832-JCM-CWH; 2:16-cv-00045-RCJ-VCF; 3:13-cv-00264-MMD-VPC; 3:13-cv-00318-HDM-WGC; 2:16-cv-00082-APG-GWF; 2:15-cv-2146-GMN-PAL.
In this motion, Tagle repeats his contention that the prison librarian tried to deceive him into signing documents. He takes issue with, among other things, being "represented" by the prison librarian on the court's docket. Mr. Tagle is misinterpreting the docket sheet. The Honorable Andrew P. Gordon, United States District Court Judge, recently explained this in an order denying this motion in another case:
See Tagle v. Dep't of Homeland Security, Case No. 2:16-cv-00082-APG-GWF, Order (ECF No. 9). Mr. Tagle's motion lacks merit. The motion is denied.
Accordingly,
