1 2 3 4 5 6 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 8 SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION 9 10 YVETTE R. BALDERAS, and others, Plaintiffs, 11 12 Case No. 12-cv-06327 NC ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE v. MASSAGE ENVY FRANCHISING, LLC, 13 and others, 14 Defendants. 15 16 The Court is prepared to issue a ruling on plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval 17 of the class action settlement. But the Court is concerned that one of the defendants, Envee 18 Estep Enterprise, Inc., was served with the summons and complaint but has not appeared or 19 consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge. See Roell v. Withrow, 538 U.S. 580, 20 592 (2003) (“consent is a precondition to the magistrate judge’s exercise of case21 dispositive power.”). Therefore, in order to determine whether it is appropriate to issue a 22 ruling or a report and recommendation, plaintiffs must either move for entry of default 23 against defendant Envee or must dismiss defendant Envee from the case, within fourteen 24 days of this order. 25 IT IS SO ORDERED. 26 Date: July 7, 2014 27 28 Case No. 12-cv-06327 NC ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE _________________________ Nathanael M. Cousins United States Magistrate Judge
