MARIE MACONEY WALKER,

Plaintiff, 

v. 

WALNUT CREEK POLICE 

DEPARTMENT, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 15-cv-03394-EDL 

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION 

REGARDING PENDING MOTIONS; 

ORDER REASSIGNING CASE 

This is a civil rights case brought by pro se Plaintiff Marie Maconey Walker against the 

Walnut Creek Police Department on July 23, 2015. On July 29, 2015, this Court granted 

Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis and ordered the issuance of summons and 

service. Plaintiff has also filed a “Motion to Request Trial By Jury” in which she states that she 

would “not like [her] case heard by a Magistrate Judge.” Dkt. No. 9. The Court construes this 

motion as a declination to consent to a magistrate judge, and hereby reassigns the case to an 

Article III judge. 

Plaintiff has also filed “Motion to Request Service of Process.” Dkt. No. 7. This motion 

has been rendered moot by the Court’s July 29, 2015 order regarding service of process and the 

Court recommends that it be denied as moot. In addition, Plaintiff has filed a “Motion to Release 

Detective’s Names.” Dkt. No. 8. This Court construes this as a premature discovery motion, and 

recommends that it be denied without prejudice. 

Any party may serve and file specific written objections to this recommendation within 

fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 72(b); Civil Local Rule 72-3. Failure to file objections within the specified time may waive 

the right to appeal the District Court's order.
