ORDER
EDMUND A. SARGUS, JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff Niki Osburn has filed three complaints, via two different attorneys, in this multidistrict litigation (“MDL”) alleging injuries caused by a Ventralex ST hernia mesh device. The first case, filed on September 16, 2020, was dismissed without prejudice for Plaintiff's failure to serve complaint (Case No. 20-cv-4854, ECF No. 7). The second case, filed on February 11, 2022, remains pending (Case No. 22-cv-615). On August 25, 2023, Plaintiff filed this case (ECF No. 1). On November 28, 2023, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the instant action as duplicative of Case No. 22-cv-615. (ECF No. 3.) Plaintiff did not file a response, and the Court will therefore treat the motion as unopposed. Accordingly, Defendants' motion (ECF No. 3) is GRANTED and this case is DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
