IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD H. GREENE,

Plaintiff, No. 2:09-cv-0793 JFM (PC)

vs.

JAMES TILTON, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On April 2, 2009, plaintiff filed a consent to the jurisdiction of a Magistrate Judge

to decide all matters in his case. On August 3, 2010, plaintiff filed a statement withdrawing his

consent and seeking reassignment before a district judge.

Plaintiff’s motion requesting reassignment does not set forth the basis for the

request. Parties may not withdraw their consents without a showing of good cause or under

extraordinary circumstances. 28 U.S.C. § 636(c); McGrath v. Everest Nat. Ins. Co., 2009 WL

4842837 (N.D. Ill. 2009); Brook, Weiner, Sered, Kreger & Weinberg v. Coreq, Inc., 53 F.3d

851, 852 (7th Cir. 1995). Plaintiff has failed to show good cause for the reassignment request,

and therefore, the motion will be denied.

Discovery is now closed and the time for filing dispositive motions has passed

with no such motions filed by either party. Further, despite an order on May 29, 2009 to the
