Defendants have not filed a consent or 20 request for reassignment as previously ordered. Plaintiff now seeks to withdraw that consent 21 (Doc. 42) in order to challenge the undersigned’s decision not to refer this case for voluntary 22 assistance of counsel, either through the civil rights clinic or direct appointment of counsel. 23 As consent has not been received from all parties to this action, and the matter is 24 therefore not before the undersigned as the presiding judge for all purposes, plaintiff may 25 withdraw his consent without demonstrating good cause or extraordinary circumstances. See 28 26 U.S.C. § 636(c); Dixon v. Ylst, 990 F.2d 478, 480 (9th Cir. 1993). 1 1 Accordingly, in the interest of justice, the court grants plaintiff’s request to 2 rescind his consent, and plaintiff’s consent to the jurisdiction of the undersigned magistrate judge 3 is deemed withdrawn.
