FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS / 16 Defendants’ motions to dismiss are pending before the court. At the hearing on 17 this matter, plaintiff informed the court that he had filed a petition for bankruptcy. Review of the 18 bankruptcy docket indicates plaintiff filed a petition for bankruptcy on September 17, 2009. See 19 Bankruptcy Court, E. D. Cal., case no. 09-39991, docket no. 1. Although it appears plaintiff has 20 failed to list his claims against the present defendants as an asset (see id., docket no. 30, schedule 21 B, no. 21), plaintiff is no longer the “real party in interest” for the prosecution of the instant 22 lawsuit. See Cobb v. Aurora Loan Services, 408 B.R. 351 (E. D. Cal. 2009). 23 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed. 24 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District 25 Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within 26 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 twenty days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file 2 written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be 3 captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations."

The parties 5 are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal 6 the District Court's order. Martinez v.
