REASSIGNMENT
v.
COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA,
Re: Dkt. No. 60
Defendant.
13
14
On January 22, 2018, the County of Santa Clara filed a declination to Magistrate Judge
15
jurisdiction and requested reassignment. (Doc. 60.) The request for reassignment is insufficient.
16
The County previously consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction (Doc. 11.) and consent to
17
magistrate judge jurisdiction can only be withdrawn for good cause or under extraordinary
18
circumstances. Dixon v. Ylst, 990 F.2d 478, 480 (9th Cir. 1993); 28 U.S.C.A. § 636 (“The court
19
may, for good cause shown on its own motion, or under extraordinary circumstances shown by
20
any party, vacate a reference of a civil matter to a magistrate judge under this subsection.”)
21
Accordingly, the County's request for reassignment is DENIED.
22
IT IS SO ORDERED.
