No. 2:20-CV-0071-DMC-P
Plaintiff,

v.

ORDER

RALPH DIEZ, et al.,
Defendants.

17

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to

18

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rules, this case was not

19

assigned to a District Judge when the case was filed. The parties have not consented to

20

Magistrate Judge jurisdiction and the court now finds that assignment of a District Judge is

21

necessary to properly address the case.

22
23

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to
randomly assign a District Judge and to update the docket to reflect the new case number.
