Josh Thomas v. Brian Roberts

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Josh Thomas v. Brian Roberts, 713 F. App'x 658 (9th Cir. 2018)

Josh Thomas v. Brian Roberts

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Josh Thomas, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the magistrate judge’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging federal and state law claims in connection with his parole proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo whether the magistrate judge validly entered judgment on behalf of the district court. Allen v. Meyer, 755 F.3d 866, 867-68 (9th Cir. 2014). We vacate and remand.

Thomas consented to proceed before the magistrate judge. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). The magistrate judge then screened and dismissed Thomas’s action before the named defendants had been served. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(l); Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Because all parties, including un-served defendants, must consent to proceed before the magistrate judge for jurisdiction To vest, Williams v. King, 875 F.3d 500, 503-04 (9th Cir. 2017), we vacate the magistrate judge’s order and remand for further proceedings.

VACATED and REMANDED.
