UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOSE GONZALEZ, JR., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

R. GAMBERG, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-0737 KJM CKD P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge as provided 

by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

 On May 18, 2015, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations, which were 

served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to the findings 

and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. Plaintiff has filed objections to the 

findings and recommendations. In his objections, plaintiff argues for the first time that his state 

law battery claims against defendants Gamberg, Wheeler and Lively are saved from dismissal as 

time-barred by equitable tolling principles arising under California law. Good cause appearing, 

defendants will be directed to file a response to plaintiff’s equitable tolling argument.
