California state prisoner Guillermo Cruz Trujillo appeals pro se from the
magistrate judge’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging

the district court. Allen v. Meyer, 755 F.3d 866, 867-68 (9th Cir. 2014). We
vacate and remand.
Trujillo consented to proceed before the magistrate judge. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(c). The magistrate judge then screened and dismissed Trujillo’s action
before the named defendants had been served. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).
Because all parties, including unserved 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.
Williams’s motion to obtain a copy of the “action” (Docket Entry No. 16) is
denied.
VACATED and REMANDED.
