This case, in which plaintiff is proceeding in propria persona, is before the undersigned

21
22

pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rule 302(c)(21). See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). On

23

June 15, 2015, attorney Michael Yesk filed a substitution of attorney/notice of appearance as

24

attorney of record for plaintiff.
Because plaintiff is now represented by counsel, the referral to the magistrate judge will

25
26

be withdrawn and the case will be referred back to the district judge. The undersigned will,

27

however, continue to perform the usual discovery tasks associated with ordinary civil cases.
