MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff's "Objection to Magistrate Assignment." This case was originally assigned to Judge Limbaugh, but Judge Limbaugh recused himself. Plaintiff objects to the case being assigned to anyone other than Judge Limbaugh.

The Court will direct the Clerk to mail plaintiff a copy of the Notice Regarding Magistrate Judge Jurisdiction form. Plaintiff must fill out the form and return it to the Court within fourteen days from the date of this Order.
Accordingly,
