IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MELVIN DUKES,

Petitioner,

v.

RICHARD JACKSON,

Respondent.

No. 2:20-CV-0298-DMC-P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pursuant to Eastern District of California Local 

Rules, this case was not assigned to a District Judge when the case was filed. The parties have 

not consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction and the Court now finds that assignment of a 

District Judge is necessary to properly address the case. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to 

randomly assign a District Judge and to update the docket to reflect the new case number.

Dated: March 26, 2020
