Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk randomly assign a United States 24 25 District Judge to this action. 26 //// 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 Further, it is RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice. 2 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 3 assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l).
