UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

JOHN EADE, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

TRES PINOS WATER DISTRICT, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:16-cv-01414-HRL 

ORDER FOR REASSIGNMENT TO 

ANOTHER MAGISTRATE JUDGE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

another magistrate judge.

SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 18, 2016

United States Magistrate Judge
