UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RODNEY WAYNE JONES,

Plaintiff,

v.

C W McELROY, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-1375 KJM CKD P

ORDER

On January 13, 2014, the undersigned magistrate judge determined that service of the 

amended complaint was appropriate for nine defendants. The undersigned recommended 

dismissal as to the remaining defendants for failure to state a claim, and directed the assignment 

of a district judge to review this recommendation. (ECF No. 10.) However, court records reveal 

that plaintiff has filed a notice of consent to proceed pursuant to the jurisdiction of the 

undersigned magistrate judge for all purposes. 28 U.S.C. § 636(c); Local Rule 302. (ECF No. 4.) 

Plaintiff has filed no objections to the findings and recommendations, and there is no basis for 

modifying the undersigned’s prior conclusion that certain defendants should be dismissed. 

Moreover, as no defendants have been served to date, plaintiff is the only party to this action.
