ORDER REFERRING MOTION

FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT TO

MAGISTRATE JUDGE

ORDER VACATING NOVEMBER 6,

2006 HEARING

Plaintiff is state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding on plaintiff’s March 16, 2005 complaint against

defendants MTA Rodriguez, Dr. Rees and Dr. Pappenfus for their alleged deliberate indifference

to plaintiff’s medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment and for retaliation.

Pending before the court is defendants’ motion for summary judgment. Given the

allegations in this action concern conditions of confinement in state prison and this action is

brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the court finds the pending motion should be referred to the

Magistrate Judge pursuant to Local Rule 72-302(c)(17).

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The pending motion for summary judgment is REFERRED to Magistrate Judge

Dennis L. Beck to issue Findings and Recommendations pursuant to Local Rule

72-302(c)(17);
