UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JIMMY JACOB RENTERIA,

Plaintiff,

v.

ADOLFO JIMENEZ, JOHN PIERRO, GUY 

TURNER, and DOES 1-10,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01191- SMS

ORDER VACATING SCREENING ORDER 

FILED ON DECEMBER 30, 2015

(Doc. 5) 

On July 31, 2015, Plaintiff Jimmy Renteria, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis filed a complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violations of his rights under the 

United States Constitution. After reviewing the complaint and applicable law, the Court filed an 

“Order Screening Complaint Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A” on December 30, 2015, dismissing the 

complaint in part and allowing Plaintiff to proceed on the surviving claims. Doc. 5. Such an order, 

however, contravened established law that a magistrate judge cannot make a final and binding 

disposition absent designation by a district judge or consent by the parties, and therefore issued in 

error. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), (c)(1); Local Rules 302-305. 

To correct the error, the Court hereby vacates its December 30, 2015 order. Doc. 5. The 

Court will thereafter issue Findings and Recommendation under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local
