ENDORSED ORDER. Immigration detainee Dean Devon filed two habeas petitions--one is the operative pleading in Devon v. Lyons, M.D. Fla. Case No. 2:26-cv-1914-JES-KRH and the other is Doc. 1 in this case. Because this action is duplicative of the first-filed case, it is DISMISSED without prejudice. See I.A. Durbin, Inc. v. Jefferson Nat. Bank, 793 F.3d 1541, 1552 (11th Cir. 1986) (explaining why federal courts should dismiss duplicative actions). The Clerk is DIRECTED to terminate any pending motions and deadlines, enter judgment, and close this case. Devon can continue litigating his habeas claims in Case No. 2:26-cv-1914-JES-KRH. Signed by Judge Sheri Polster Chappell on 6/18/2026. (NMC) (Entered: 06/18/2026)
