UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNETH HILL,

Plaintiff,

v.

PEOPLEREADY, INC,

Defendant.

No. 2:23–cv–306–DAD–KJN PS

ORDER

This action has been assigned to Chief Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman. Because at 

least one party proceeds without the assistance of counsel, the Local Rules dictate the Magistrate 

Judge will (1) resolve all non-dispositive matters, and (2) conduct all hearings and issue findings 

and recommendations on any dispositive matters. See Local Rule 302(c)(21).

The parties are reminded of their continuing duty to notify chambers immediately of any 

settlement or other disposition. See Local Rule 160.

The assigned district has adopted the undersigned’s recommendations regarding the state 

of the pleadings. (ECF No. 15.) Under that order, the case is to proceed solely on plaintiff’s 

claim under Cal. Lab. Code § 98.6 against defendant People Ready, Inc. (Id.) Given that 

defendant has already filed its answer for this claim (see ECF No. 1), the case requires 

scheduling.
