MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon review of movant's motion to vacate, set aside, or correct sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 [Doc. #1].
Movant is challenging the judgment and sentence entered on October 20, 2010, in Parker v. U.S., No. 1:10-CR-56-RWS (E.D. Mo.). Upon review of the Court's records, it appears that the instant action is duplicative of a § 2255 action that movant filed, pro se, approximately ten days ago, on October 22, 2012, and which is currently pending in this Court. See Parker v. U.S., No. 1:12-CV-176-RWS (E.D. Mo.). As a result, the instant action will be dismissed, without prejudice.
Counsel may enter his appearance in Parker v. U.S., No. 1:12-CV-176-RWS (E.D. Mo.), and move to file an amended motion to vacate, if necessary. The Court notes that in the previously-filed case, movant was ordered on October 30, 2012, to submit a signed motion to vacate within thirty days.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the instant 28 U.S.C. § 2255 action is DISMISSED, without prejudice, as duplicative.
A separate Order of Dismissal shall accompany this Memorandum and Order.
