MAURICE JOHN PLASSE, III, and
JEANNIE LYNNE PLASSE,

LYNLEY FORD,
Defendant.

This case, in which defendant was proceeding in propria persona, was referred to me

pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rule 302(c)(21). See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). On

20

October 2, 2020, attorney Zachary Schorr was substituted in as attorney of record for defendant.

21

Because defendant is now represented by counsel, the referral to the magistrate judge will

22

be withdrawn and the case will be referred back to the district judge. I will, however, continue to

23

perform the usual discovery tasks associated with ordinary civil cases.

24

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:

25

1. The referral of this case to the magistrate judge is withdrawn and the case is referred

26

back to the district judge; and
