UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN REYNA,

Plaintiff,

v.

KINGS COUNTY JAIL, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:20-cv-00447 NODJ GSA (PC) 

SECOND ORDER DIRECTING 

DEFENDANTS TO COMPLETE AND FILE 

NEW ORDER RE: CONSENT OR REQUEST 

FOR REASSIGNMENT FORMS BY 

FEBRUARY 23, 2024

This matter is at the pretrial stage of the proceedings. On December 29, 2023, the Court 

ordered the parties to complete and return the Court’s Order Re: Consent or Request for 

Reassignment form, and to do so within thirty days. ECF No. 39 at 3. The purpose of ordering 

the parties to complete and return the form to the Court was to attempt to move certain cases 

forward more quickly given former presiding District Judge Ana de Alba’s elevation to the Ninth 

Circuit and the resulting lack of a District Judge to preside over this matter. See id. at 2.

Plaintiff returned his form within the time allotted, and it was docketed on January 8, 

2024. See ECF No. 42. Defendants however have not returned the form, nor have they filed a 

request for an extension of time to do so.

Defendants will be ordered a second time to complete and return the consent / decline 

form. They will be given until February 23, 2024, to do so.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants shall complete and return the 

Court’s Order Re: Consent or Request for Reassignment form by February 23, 2024.

Defendants are cautioned that failure to comply with this order within the time 

allotted may result in sanctions levied against them for failure to obey court orders. See

Local Rule 110.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
