ORDER REFERRING MATTER TO UNITED
STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
/

17

This matter proceeds before the undersigned magistrate judge because it initially

18

appeared that the plaintiff in this matter was proceeding without counsel. See E. Dist. Local Rule

19

302(c)(21). On December 5, 2011, attorney Ed K. Bassey filed a Notice of Appearance on behalf

20

of plaintiff Edna Wai. (Dkt. No. 9.) Because all parties in this action are now represented by

21

counsel, pretrial matters, other than discovery motions, should now be noticed before the United

22

States District Judge assigned to this action. See E. Dist. Local Rule 302(c)(21).1

all the plaintiffs or defendants are proceeding in propria persona, including dispositive and
non-dispositive motions and matters. Actions initially assigned to a Magistrate Judge under this
paragraph shall be referred back to the assigned Judge if a party appearing in propria persona is
later represented by an attorney appearing in accordance with L.R. 180.”
