Following resolution of Defendants’ motion for summary judgment, this action is proceeding

22

Plaintiff in violation of the Eighth Amendment. This action is currently ready to be set for trial.

23

Plaintiff declined Magistrate Judge jurisdiction on February 12, 2007, and Defendants consented to

Magistrate Judge jurisdiction on May 19, 2009.

25

On December 12, 2013, Plaintiff consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction. (ECF NO. 203.)

States Magistrate Judge conduct any and all further proceedings in the case, including the trial and

28

entry of a final judgment, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1
