This matter is before the Court on nine separate Motions to Dismiss in the related cases

26

Services – Shasta, LLC (“Plaintiff”) consented to the appointment of a Special Master. (ECF No.

27

28

instead recommended that the pending motions be sent to Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman

2

Defendant’s suggestion and on December 15, 2016, Plaintiff agreed to submit the pending

3

motions in all related cases to Magistrate Judge Newman. (ECF No. 49 at 5–6.) The Court

4

hereby REFERS all pending Motions to Dismiss in the lead action and the related cases to

5

Magistrate Judge Newman for Findings and Recommendations. Additionally, the Court

6

ORDERS that all future motions to dismiss or motions to amend be noticed before Magistrate
