ORDER VACATING APRIL 30,

2007 HEARING AND

REFERRING MOTION TO

MAGISTRATE JUDGE

In this civil rights action, state prisoner Plaintiff Arthur Robles sues Defendants for

shooting him. While Plaintiff is incarcerated and Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis, this civil rights action concerns events prior to Plaintiff’s incarceration and does not

concern Plaintiff’s conditions of confinement. As such, this action was not automatically

referred to the Magistrate Judge.

Pending before the court is Defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, which

Defendants have scheduled for oral argument before the undersigned on April 30, 2007. Given

this action involves a prisoner who is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, the court finds the

interests of judicial economy would be served by referring the pending motion to the Magistrate

Judge pursuant to Local Rule 72-302(c).
