UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAASHAD CARTER,

Plaintiff,

vs.

L. CANNEDY, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. 08 CV 2381 JCW

ORDER

Carter, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On May 28, 2010, Carter filed a motion that his case be “reassigned to a district

judge per civil rule 72.3.” There is no Rule 72.3 in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or the

Local Rules of the Eastern District of California that mandates such a reassignment, and

moreover, the undersigned is not a magistrate judge, but a circuit judge serving in the capacity of

a district judge. Therefore, Carter’s motion to have his case reassigned to a district judge is

DENIED.
