ORDER REFERRING MOTION TO

DISMISS TO MAGISTRATE

JUDGE DENNIS L. BECK

ORDER VACATING AUGUST 4,

2008 HEARING

In this action, Plaintiff alleges that his civil rights were violated when he was housed in

the Merced County Jail. Plaintiff is currently housed in state prison, and is proceeding in pro se. 

Defendants filed a motion to dismiss that they noticed for hearing before the undersigned for

August 4, 2008.

Pursuant to Local Rule 72-302(c)(17), cases brought by a person in custody seeking civil

rights relief are aromatically referred to the assigned Magistrate Judge as provided for by 28

U.S.C. § 636. This automatic referral includes dispositive motions, for which the Magistrate

Judge will file Findings and Recommendations. Pursuant to Local Rule 78-230(m), all motions

filed in a case where one party is incarcerated and is also proceeding in pro se shall be submitted

upon the record without oral argument. Because both of these Local Rules apply to this action,

the pending motion will be referred to Magistrate Judge Dennis L. Beck, and no oral argument

will be heard.
