Defendants.
This MINUTE ORDER is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable Ricardo S.
Martinez, Chief United States District Judge:

18

Plaintiff Keith Adair Davis filed an Amended Complaint on February 23, 2017.

19

Dkt. #20. However, before Mr. Davis filed his Amended Complaint, the Honorable Brian A.

20

Tsuchida, United States Magistrate Judge, had already issued a Report and Recommendation on

21
22

February 7, 2017. Dkt. #19. As a result, Mr. Davis’s Amended Complaint was construed as a

23

motion to amend his complaint. See Dkt. #21. Objections to Judge Tsuchida’s Report and

24

Recommendations were filed by Mr. Davis on February 27, 2017. Dkt. #21. The Court finds it

25

is appropriate for Judge Tsuchida to determine if Mr. Davis’s motion to amend his complaint

26

should be granted. See Dkt. #10 at 1. Accordingly, the Clerk shall refer the motion to amend

27
28

(Dkt. #20) to Judge Tsuchida for consideration.
