UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BARBARA STUART ROBINSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

BAY AREA RAPID TRANSIT DISTRICT,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-00738-DMR 

REQUEST FOR REASSIGNMENT TO 

DISTRICT JUDGE AND REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION TO DISMISS 

COMPLAINT WITHOUT PREJUDICE 

FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

Pro se Plaintiff Barbara Stuart Robinson filed a complaint and an application for leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). Since all parties have not consented to the jurisdiction of a 

magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the court issues herein a Report and 

Recommendation and reassigns this case to a district judge for final disposition, with the 

recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. 

On March 8, 2019, the court granted Ms. Robinson’s IFP application and noted that it 

would determine separately whether the complaint should be served. [Docket No. 8.] On April 

15, 2019, the court issued an order screening the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(E) and 

ordering Ms. Robinson to file a first amended complaint that addressed the deficiencies identified 

in the screening order by April 30, 2019. [Docket No. 11.] The court warned Ms. Robinson that 

failure to file a timely first amended complaint would result in a recommendation that her action 

be dismissed. See id. at 11. No amended complaint has been filed. Accordingly, the court 

recommends that Ms. Robinson’s action be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. 

The Clerk is directed to reassign this case to a district judge. Any party may file objections to this 

report and recommendation with the district judge within 14 days after being served with a copy. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a); N.D. Cal. Civ. L.R. 72-2.

The court refers Ms. Robinson to the section “Representing Yourself” on the Court’s
