¶1 Douglas Alan Burden, Texas prisoner # 1160832, appeals the dismissal without prejudice as repetitious of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit. Given that the access-to-the-courts claim Burden raised therein is currently pending in Burden v. Jefferson County, No. l:03-CV-233, the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the suit without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2); Elbaor v. Tripath Imaging, Inc., 279 F.3d 314, 319-20 (5th Cir.2002). The dismissal is therefore affirmed.
¶2 The district court, however, did not address the issue Burden raised regarding whether his inmate trust fund should be credited in the amount of the filing fee withdrawn for the instant case, which fee was apparently erroneously docketed as a new cause of action distinct from cause number l:03-CV-233. The case is therefore remanded to the district court to address Burden’s entitlement, if any, to reimbursement for the filing fee in cause number l:03-CV-339.
¶3 DISMISSAL AFFIRMED; REMANDED.
