IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

COLLEEN LEAVITT, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-2468 LKK CMK 

vs.

SHASTA COUNTY BOARD OF O R D E R

SUPERVISORS, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, Colleen Leavitt, is proceeding pro se in this petition for a writ of administrative

mandamus. Plaintiff filed her petition in California State court pursuant to California’s

mandamus provisions, but because she named the Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX,

as a real party in interest, her petition was removed to federal court. This matter was referred to a

Untied States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72-

302(b)(21).
