JASON CAI and THE ESTATE OF YING DENG, Deceased, Defendants. /

This is an interpleader action. The initial case management conference has been continued several times for various reasons. The court is informed that defendant Jason Cai, who is representing himself, has been in custody from the outset of this proceeding and currently is awaiting trial in another matter. There were also some delays with respect to the service on and representation of the Estate of Ying Deng ("Estate"). Meanwhile, this court reminded the parties of their obligation to either consent or decline to proceed before a magistrate judge. (See Docket No. 17). And, on March 22, 2010, this court ordered defendants to file either a consent or declination by March 31, 2010. (Docket No. 27). Neither Cai nor the Estate have complied. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT this case be reassigned to a United States District Court Judge. Dated: April 6, 2010 HOWARD R. LLOYD
