ORDER REASSIGNING CASE

BOISE CASCADE COMPANY, et al.,
Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Plaintiffs filed this asbestos product liability action against several defendants. Defendant

13

Boise Cascade Company subsequently removed the action to this federal court on the basis of

14

bankruptcy-related claims and federal question. Now pending before the Court is Plaintiffs’

15

motion to remand to state court. While all parties who have appeared have consented to the

16

jurisdiction of the undersigned magistrate judge, Plaintiffs contend that Georgia-Pacific LLC and

17

Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. are still defendants (Dkt. No. 19-1 at 8); yet, neither has

18

appeared nor consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. As a result, a magistrate judge may not

19

decide the motion to remand. Accordingly, this action is ordered reassigned to a district court

20

judge. Plaintiffs shall contact the deputy clerk of the newly-assigned judge regarding a new

21

hearing date.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
