IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KATHRYN HOGAN, et al., CASE NO. CV-F-03-6408 LJO WMW

 

Plaintiffs, ORDER VACATING 

MARCH 2, 2007 HEARINGS AND NOTICE TO

PARTIES TO FILE REQUEST

vs.

FRESNO COUNTY SHERIFF’S

DEPUTY MICHAEL ROBINSON,

et al.,

Defendants.

 / 

Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reconsideration of this Court’s January 12, 2007 Order on Motion

to Compel Further Deposition Testimony of Defendant Robinson. At the time this Court issued the

order, the undersigned was a United States Magistrate Judge. Plaintiffs further filed a Motion to Compel

the Deposition of Marveline Breech. This Court set a hearing for each of these motions on March 2,

2007. For the following reasons, this Court VACATES the March 2, 2007 hearings..

Due to the recent elevation of Lawrence J. O’Neill as United States District Judge, the

undersigned shall no longer entertain the Motion to Compel Deposition of Marveline Breech. That

motion should be considered by the newly assigned Magistrate Judge in this case. Therefore, the

March 2, 2007 hearing on the Motion to Compel Deposition is VACATED. A date for this

hearing should b e RE-SET with the Magistrate Judge.

The more complicated situation arises with regard to the Motion for Reconsideration of

the January 12, 2007 order. Under ordinary circumstances, pursuant to F.R.C.P. 72(a) and L.R. 72-

303(c), the Motion for Reconsideration would not go back to the Magistrate Judge for review. Rather,

it would go to the District Judge assigned to the case. In the instant matter, we have a peculiar

procedural case. The Magistrate Judge then assigned, due to elevation, is now the District Judge

assigned to the case. The result is that there is a pending request for a District Judge to review his own

order. 

Within ten (10) day, counsel are to file any request they deem appropriate under these

circumstances. In the meantime, the March 2, 2007 hearing on the Motion for Reconsideration

is hereby VACATED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 26, 2007 /s/ Lawrence J. O'Neill
