ORDER VACATING

HEARING AND REFERRING

MOTION TO MAGISTRATE

JUDGE

In this action, Plaintiff Robert Travis, brings a civil rights action against Defendants

for their failure to provide medical care in violation of Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment rights. 

While Plaintiff is incarcerated, Plaintiff is not proceeding in forma pauperis and Plaintiff is

represented by an attorney. As such, this action was not automatically referred to the Magistrate

Judge.

Pending before the court is Defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended

complaint, which Defendants have scheduled for oral argument before the undersigned on

December 18, 2006. Given the allegations in this action concern conditions of confinement in

state prison and are brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the court finds the pending motion should

be referred to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to Local Rule 72-302(c)(17).
