IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THERESE SWENSON, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-0008 MCE CMK 

vs.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

Defendant.

 / ORDER

 On April 10, 2007, plaintiff filed an “Answer to Motion for Summary Judgment,

and Memorandum of Points and Authorities.” (Doc. 9.) In her motion, plaintiff asserts that the

undersigned is without jurisdiction to hear defendant’s motion for summary judgment, which is

set for hearing on May 15, 2007. In support of her argument, plaintiff draws the court’s attention

to Local Rule 73-301(c)(21), which, in Sacramento, refers all cases in which one party is

proceeding pro se to the magistrate judge, including dispositive and non-dispositive motions. 

Plaintiff argues that the Local Rule does not apply to the undersigned because he is located in

Redding. 

Plaintiff is mistaken. The undersigned is part of the Sacramento Division of the

Eastern District and is included in general referral order of Local Rule 73-301(c)(21). See Local

Rule 3-120(b) & (d). In short, the undersigned has jurisdiction to hear and to issue findings
