ORDER
/
16
Presently before the court is plaintiff’s motion for partial summary judgment
17
against defendant California Highway Patrol (“CHP”), which plaintiff filed on November 16,
18
2011 (Dkt. No. 79).1 The undersigned denies plaintiff’s motion without prejudice.
19
On August 4, 2011, the undersigned filed findings and recommendations that
20
recommended that: (1) the CHP’s motion to dismiss plaintiff’s claims against it be granted,
21
(2) all of plaintiff’s claims against the CHP be dismissed with prejudice, and (3) the CHP be
22
dismissed from this action (Dkt. No. 38). The district judge assigned to this case has not yet
23
resolved the findings and recommendations pertaining to plaintiff’s claims against the CHP.
24
However, if the district judge adopts the findings and recommendations in full, plaintiff’s motion

26
This case proceeds before the undersigned pursuant to Eastern District of California Local
Rule 302(c)(21) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

1
for partial summary judgment would be rendered moot because all of plaintiff’s claims against
2
the CHP would be dismissed with prejudice, and the CHP would no longer be a defendant in this
3
action. Accordingly, the undersigned denies plaintiff’s motion for partial summary judgment
4
without prejudice, and plaintiff may re-file that motion after resolution of the pending findings
5
and recommendations if the CHP remains a defendant in this action.

For the foregoing reasons, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
