ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
REGARDING ADDED NAMED
PLAINTIFFS IN THE AMENDED
COMPLAINT
Re: Dkt. No. 26

16

The Court takes note that in the amended complaint filed on April 11, 2018,

17

plaintiffs added additional named plaintiffs Alicia Helms and Brian McCloy. Dkt. No. 26.

18

The amended complaint added an additional named plaintiff, but that plaintiff was

19

voluntarily dismissed on April 18, 2018. Plaintiffs present in the original complaint have

20

consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). Dkt. No. 12.

21

But the Court must also have the consent of the named plaintiffs added in the amended

22

complaint to preside over this case, and decide the pending motion to dismiss. Newly-

23

added plaintiffs must file a document registering their consent or declination of the Court’s

24

jurisdiction. Newly-added plaintiffs are instructed to file this document by July 20, 2018.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
