MEDICAL BOARD OF CALIFORNIA, et

Defendants.

On January 12, 2021, this matter was referred to the undersigned in accordance with Local

19

Rule 302(c)(21) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) as plaintiff was proceeding pro se. (ECF No. 83.) On

20

January 4, 2022, the undersigned took under submission the parties’ cross-motions for summary

21

judgment. (ECF Nos. 105 & 113.) However, on January 11, 2022, attorney Gary Lee Sherrer

22

substituted in as attorney for plaintiff. (ECF No. 123.)
Because plaintiff is no longer proceeding pro se in this action, Local Rule 302(c)(21) no

23
24

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

25

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

26

District Judge assigned to this action. The assigned magistrate judge shall continue to perform all

27

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