UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KARLIS RUBEN AUGUSTUS 

HOWARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

RODRIGUEZ, 

 Defendant.

Case No. 1:24-cv-0285 JLT SAB (PC)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION TO CHANGE THE CASE NAME 

AND DIRECTING THE CLERK OF COURT 

TO UPDATE THE DOCKET

(Doc. 19)

Karlis Ruben Augustus Howard seeks to hold Defendant Rodriguez liable for a violation 

of his civil rights and negligence in this action. (See Doc. 16.) Plaintiff requests that the Court 

change the case name “to a ... proper title such as Howard v. Rodriguez” because other 

individuals were terminated as defendants in the action, including Aylana Oliva Parks whose 

name was first on the list of defendants. (Doc. 19 at 2.) The Court construes this as a motion to 

update and correct the docket to reflect the terminated defendants. As Plaintiff asserts, the action 

proceeds only on his claims against Defendant Rodriguez, because his claims against all other 

defendants in this action were dismissed. (See Doc. 16.) Accordingly, the Court ORDERS:

1. Plaintiff’s request to change the case name, which the Court construes as a motion 

to update and correct the docket (Doc. 19) is GRANTED.
