UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDREW RITCHSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOHN ROSS ENTERPRISES, INC. 

dba SIERRA PAINT AND DRYWALL,

a California Corporation; 

and NEUBAUER- JENNISON, INC., 

a California Corporation;

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-01459-GEB-EFB

ORDER

The parties state in the Joint Status Report filed on 

October 9, 2015: “Defendants have consented to a magistrate judge 

for trial purposes at this time. Plaintiff has likewise consented 

to a magistrate judge.” (JSR 5:5-6, ECF No. 14.) However, it is 

unclear whether each party consents to the assigned magistrate 

judge conducting all further proceedings in this case, and 

Defendant John Ross Enterprises, Inc. has not filed its consent 

to Jurisdiction of United States Magistrate Judge under Local 

Rule 305. Should Defendant John Ross Enterprises, Inc. consent to 

having a magistrate judge conduct all proceedings in this action 

and file said consent, the undersigned judge will review the 

matter for possible reference at that time.

Further, in light of the referenced ambiguity, the 

Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference scheduled for hearing on 

October 26, 2015, is continued to November 23, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. 

A further joint status report shall be filed no later than 

fourteen (14) days prior to the Status Conference.

Dated: October 20, 2015
