Defendants.

On March 16, 2021, Plaintiff Tatyana Drevaleva filed an administrative motion requesting

15

that the Court reassign this case, as well as seven related cases,1 to one of three named magistrate

16

judges. Dkt. No. 320. However, Plaintiff previously declined to consent to magistrate judge

17

jurisdiction in this case and others. Dkt. No. 4; see also Case No. 4:19-cv-02665-HSG, Dkt. No.

18

10; Case No. 4:20-cv-00820-HSG, Dkt. No. 4. The cases may only be reassigned to a magistrate

19

judge if both parties consent. Civil Local Rule 73-1(b). If Plaintiff now consents to magistrate

20

judge jurisdiction, she must file a consent form in each case in which she seeks reassignment,

21

expressly confirming that she consents to the reassignment of that case to any of the three named

22

magistrate judges.

The related cases include Case Nos. 4:21-cv-00684-HSG, 4:19-cv-01454-HSG, 4:19-cv-02665HSG, 4:19-cv-06127-HSG, 4:19-cv-05927-HSG, 4:20-cv-00820-HSG, and 4:21-cv-00500-HSG.
The Court notes that several of these cases are closed, with previous dismissal orders having been
affirmed by the Ninth Circuit. Because all of the cases have been assigned to the undersigned, if
both parties consent to magistrate judge reassignment, the reassigned magistrate judge can
consider what if anything to do with the closed cases.
