Opinion
No. CIV S-06-0013-FCD-CMK.
August 30, 2006
ORDER
On May 26, 2006, the court issued an order referring this matter to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rule 72-302(c)(21) because all of the appearing defendants in the action — at that time Paul Pendleton and Tammie Pendleton — were appearing pro se. Since that order was issued, however, defendants Donna Stefani and Fidelity National Title Company of California have appeared in the action through counsel. In addition, the Pendleton defendants also now have counsel. Therefore, no parties to this action are proceeding pro se and the referral to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to Local Rule 72-302(c)(21) is hereby withdrawn. This matter shall proceed as a counseled civil case.
The Honorable Frank C. Damrell shall issue an amended scheduling order, as needed. All dates as set in Judge Kellison's scheduling order filed July 20, 2006, shall remain in effect until such a time as the amended order is filed.
The hearing on the motion to dismiss filed by defendants Stefani and Fidelity National Title Company of California, currently set for October 17, 2006, before the undersigned, is hereby vacated. The moving defendants are directed to contact Judge Damrell's chambers regarding re-noticing the motion for hearing on his calendar.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
