SCOTT JOHNSON,

No. 2:14-cv-2052 GEB DAD

Plaintiff,

13

v.

14

MIKE PATEL,

15

ORDER

Defendant.

16
This matter was referred to the undersigned pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(21) on

17
18

February 2, 2015, because defendant Mike Patel was proceeding pro se. (Dkt. No. 12.) However,

19

on March 9, 2015, attorney Michael Welch appeared as counsel for defendant Patel in this action.

20

(Dkt. No. 14.)
Because the defendant is no longer proceeding pro se, Local Rule 302(c)(21) no longer

21
22

applies. Accordingly, the case will be referred back to the assigned District Judge. Therefore, all

23

pretrial motions, other than discovery motions, should now be noticed for hearing before the

24

District Judge assigned to this action. The assigned Magistrate Judge shall continue to perform

25

all duties described in Local Rule 302(c)(1)-(20).
