Defendants.

On February 27, 2017, plaintiff commenced this action through counsel by filing a

19

complaint and paying the required filing fee. (ECF No. 1.) On November 13, 2020, defendants

20

filed motions to compel. (ECF Nos. 79 & 80.) However, on November 30, 2020, the assigned

21

District Judge granted a motion terminating plaintiff’s counsel and staying this action. (ECF No.

22

81.)

23

On January 12, 2021, the assigned District Judge lifted the stay in this action and referred

24

this matter to the undersigned in accordance with Local Rule 302(c)(21) and 28 U.S.C. §

25

636(b)(1). (ECF No. 83.) Thereafter, the parties appeared before the undersigned for a Status

26

(Pretrial Scheduling) Conference. (ECF No. 90.) Defendants have not re-noticed their motions to

27

compel. Those motions, therefore, will be denied without prejudice to renewal.
