UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUGENE KORTE,

Plaintiff,

v.

MIDLAND FUNDING, LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-00035 JAM KJN (PS)

ORDER

Plaintiff is proceeding in this action without counsel or “pro se.” This proceeding was 

referred to this court by Local Rule 302(c)(21).

Presently before this court is plaintiff’s December 30, 2013 filing styled as “objections to 

magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations; notice and motion for stay of concurrent state 

proceedings.” ECF No. 23. In his motion, plaintiff requests that this court stay two Solano 

County Superior Court cases. Id. This court does not have jurisdiction to stay state court 

proceedings. See, e.g., 28 U.S.C. § 2283. Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion to stay will be denied.

The court notes that on December 23, 2013, findings and recommendations were issued 

recommending dismissal in light of plaintiff’s failure to timely file an amended complaint in 

accordance with this court’s prior order. ECF No. 21. Plaintiff’s separate December 30, 2013 

objections (ECF No. 22) will be addressed by the district judge in ruling on the findings and 

recommendations in due course.
