IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN JOSE DIVISION 

GREGORY NICHOLAS STESHENKO,

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

THOMAS MCKAY, et al., 

 Defendants. 

____________________________________/

No. C 09-5543 RS 

ORDER RE FUTURE COURT 

PROCEEDINGS 

 Plaintiff has submitted a letter requesting that this action be reassigned to a judge sitting in 

the San Jose Division, in light of the burdens to him arising from traveling to San Francisco to 

attend court proceedings. Reassignment does not appear to be warranted at this juncture. The 

Case Management Conference, presently set for May 27, 2010, shall be telephonic. In the event 

there are motions filed which the Court does not elect to take under submission without oral 

argument pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b), plaintiff will be permitted to appear by telephone. 

Finally, plaintiff’s declination of magistrate judge jurisdiction and request for reassignment to a 

district judge appears to be based on a misunderstanding. This action is presently assigned to a 

Case 5:09-cv-05543-RS Document 80 Filed 04/15/10 Page 1 of 2
