On September 8, 2011, Senior District Court Judge Oliver W. Wanger entered an order
20
resolving several pending motions. The order also requested further briefing on certain issues.
21
On September 14, 2011, this action was re-assigned to Magistrate Judge Dennis L. Beck
22
in light of Judge Wanger’s then pending retirement. On October 11, 2011, this action was re23
assigned to the undersigned because not all parties were willing to consent to Magistrate Judge
24
Jurisdiction.
25
The undersigned has spent considerable time reviewing Judge Wanger’s prior orders and
26
the entire docket of this case, which totals 806 docket entries.

estimate of when a scheduling conference can be held to set formal dates to close

The parties are forewarned that the Fresno Division of the Eastern District of California
now has the heaviest District Judge caseload in the entire nation. While the court will use its
best efforts to resolve this and all civil cases in a timely manner, the parties are admonished that
not all of the parties’ needs and expectations may be met as expeditiously as desired. The
parties are reminded of the availability of a United States Magistrate Judge to conduct all
proceedings in this action.
