UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BOB BEJARANO,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALLISON, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:11-cv-00589 LJO DLB PC

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S 

NOTICE OF DISCREPANCY

(Document 117)

Plaintiff Bob Bejarano (“Plaintiff”) is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on 

April 12, 2011.

On April 28, 2016, the Court issued Findings and Recommendations regarding Defendants’ 

motion to dismiss.

On May 16, 2016, Plaintiff filed a notice in which he questions why a magistrate judge other 

than the one assigned to this action signed the Findings and Recommendations. Plaintiff is advised 

that while specific judges are assigned to an action as a matter of Court administration, the District 

Court judges’ referral power is general. 28 U.S.C. § 636. Therefore, even though one magistrate 

judge may be assigned to an action, another magistrate judge may act on an order within the action. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 18, 2016 /s/ Dennis L. Beck
