MICHAEL L. OVERTON, Petitioner, v. WILLIAM JOHN HOLDER, Respondent.
ORDER
DENNIS M. COTA, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 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.
