Now before the Court is Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James’ (the “Magistrate Judge”)
13
Report and Recommendation to dismiss without prejudice plaintiff Teresa Bechelli’s complaint
14
for judicial review of defendant’s denial of disability insurance benefits under the Social Security
15
Act for failure to prosecute. (Dkt. No. 19.) On October 16, 2017, the Magistrate Judge found that
16
plaintiff failed to file a timely written response to the Magistrate Judge’s order to show cause as to
17
why the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.1 (See Dkt. Nos. 18, 19.) The
18
Magistrate Judge then ordered “the Clerk of the Court to reassign the case to a district court judge”

the docket November 27, 2017. (Dkt. No. 22.)

back to Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James for all purposes including final disposition and entry

of judgment.
