UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

DAVID JOHNSON, as an individual and 

dba DELTA TRANSPORT, INC., et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-816-KJM-EFB PS 

ORDER 

 

This case, which defendant Spurlock removed from San Joaquin Superior Court in 

propria persona, is before the undersigned pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rule 

302(c)(21). See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). On April 25, 2016, defendants Faso and Zeiter, through 

counsel, filed a joinder in the notice of removal. Local Rule 302(c)(21) provides for the referral 

of cases to the magistrate judge when all of the plaintiffs or defendants are proceeding in propria 

persona. Because plaintiff and some of the defendants are represented by counsel, the referral to 

the magistrate judge will be withdrawn and the case will be referred back to the district judge. 

The undersigned will, however, continue to perform the usual discovery tasks associated with 

ordinary civil cases.
