CHRISTIAN A. ROMERO,

12

Plaintiff,

14

No. 2:14-cv-2954 TLN DAD PS

v.

ORDER

NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
This matter was removed to this court on December 22, 2014. (Dkt. No. 1.) At that time,

17
18

plaintiff was proceeding pro se and, therefore, the matter was referred to the undersigned pursuant

19

to Local Rule 302(c)(21). On February 2, 2015, however, attorney Rita M. Lingwood filed a

20

request to substitute into this action as counsel of record on behalf of the plaintiff and that request

21

was granted on February 5, 2015. (Dkt. No. 15.)
Because the plaintiff is no longer proceeding pro se, Local Rule 302(c)(21) no longer

22
23

applies and, accordingly, the case will be referred back to the assigned District Judge. Therefore,

24

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

25

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

26

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