FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MAURICE JOHN PLASSE, III, and 

JEANNIE LYNNE PLASSE,

Plaintiffs,

v.

LYNLEY FORD,

Defendant.

No. 2:17-cv-1136-TLN-JDP

ORDER

This case, in which defendant was proceeding in propria persona, was referred to me 

pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rule 302(c)(21). See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). On 

October 2, 2020, attorney Zachary Schorr was substituted in as attorney of record for defendant.

Because defendant is now represented by counsel, the referral to the magistrate judge will 

be withdrawn and the case will be referred back to the district judge. I will, however, continue to 

perform the usual discovery tasks associated with ordinary civil cases.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:

1. The referral of this case to the magistrate judge is withdrawn and the case is referred

back to the district judge; and
