On July 10, 2009, Plaintiff consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction in this action, and no other parties have made an appearance. (Doc. 5.) Therefore, pursuant to Appendix A(k)(4) of the Local Rules of the Eastern District of California, the undersigned shall conduct any and all proceedings in the case until such time as reassignment to a District Judge is required.

Accordingly, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED that:
1. This action is DISMISSED, with prejudice, based on Plaintiff's failure to state any claims upon which relief may be granted under section 1983;
2. This dismissal shall count as a strike pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g); and
3. The Clerk is DIRECTED to close this case.
