WILLIAM MAY ATHERTON, Plaintiff, v. OMONIYI AKINTOLA, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
DENNIS M. COTA, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rules, this case was not assigned to a District Judge when the case was filed. The parties have not consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction and the Court now finds that assignment of a District Judge is necessary to properly address the case.
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.
