Case No. 5:16-cv-01414-HRL
ORDER FOR REASSIGNMENT TO
ANOTHER MAGISTRATE JUDGE

v.
TRES PINOS WATER DISTRICT, et al.,
Defendants.

17

The court has received from plaintiffs a form Consent to Magistrate Judge Jurisdiction,

18

“subject to the case being reassigned from [the undersigned] to another magistrate judge.” The

19

reason: plaintiffs are informed that defense counsel Christine Breen used to work, many years

20

ago, at the same firm as the undersigned and that other matters involving Ms. Breen were

21

reassigned. This court does not recall and has not found any case that previously was reassigned

22

because of Ms. Breen’s involvement in it. Nevertheless, plaintiffs having conditioned their

23

consent upon reassignment to another magistrate, the Clerk of the Court shall reassign this case to

24

another magistrate judge.

SO ORDERED.
