UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SEAN DIAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

WILLIAM AVILA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:24-cv-00354-KES-SAB

ORDER VACATING JANUARY 8, 2025

HEARING

On March 26, 2024, Defendants removed this action and soon thereafter moved to 

dismiss. (ECF Nos. 1, 4.) On May 7, 2024, the undersigned prepared findings and 

recommendations, recommending that the complaint be dismissed with leave to amend. (ECF 

No. 8.) The matter was then reassigned to a district judge to rule on the Court’s findings and 

recommendations, which remains pending. (ECF No. 7.) Notwithstanding the pending findings 

and recommendations, on November 20, 2024, Defendants filed a subsequent motion to dismiss, 

arguing that Plaintiff had failed to file an amended complaint and that the complaint should be 

dismissed with prejudice. (ECF No. 11.) It appears that this motion is not ripe because the 

complaint has not yet been authorized.

In any event, Defendants have improperly set the subsequent motion to dismiss before the 

undersigned. As stated above, this matter has been reassigned to a district judge, and therefore, 

the motion to dismiss must be referred to the undersigned. L.R. 304(a); see 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1).
