Opinion
No. CIV S-10-0325 JAM EFB PS.
April 20, 2011
ORDER
This case, in which plaintiff was originally proceeding pro se, is before the undersigned pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rule 302(c)(21). See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). On April 19, 2011, the assigned district judge signed an order approving the substitution of David J. Beauvais as plaintiff's attorney of record. Because plaintiff is now represented by counsel, the referral to the magistrate judge will be withdrawn and the case will be referred back to the district judge. Therefore, the June 29, 2011 status (pretrial scheduling) conference currently scheduled before the undersigned, Dckt. Nos. 2 and 14, will be vacated. The magistrate judge shall continue to perform the usual discovery tasks associated with ordinary civil cases.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The referral of this case to the magistrate judge is withdrawn and the case is referred back to the district judge; and
2. The June 29, 2011 status (pretrial scheduling) conference currently scheduled before the undersigned, Dckt. Nos. 2 and 14, is vacated.
