UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

NAREN CHAGANTI, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

TRAVELERS PROPERTY CASUALTY 

COMPANY OF AMERICA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-07493-VKD 

ORDER FOR REASSIGNMENT TO A 

DISTRICT JUDGE

Defendant Travelers Property Casualty Company of America’s (“Travelers”) has moved to 

dismiss for failure to state a claim, or alternatively for a more definite statement. Dkt. No. 10. 

Plaintiffs have moved to remand this action to state court. Dkt. No. 16. Although plaintiffs and 

Travelers have appeared and consented to proceed before a magistrate judge (Dkt. Nos. 8, 17), 

individual defendants Joseph Tancredy and Robert Killingsworth have not yet been served,1have 

not appeared, and have not consented. See Dkt. No. 15.

Absent the consent of all parties, this Court does not have jurisdiction over this matter and 

must refer the case to a district judge. 28 U.S.C. § 636; Williams v. King, 875 F.3d 500 (9th Cir. 

2017). Accordingly, it is ordered that this case be reassigned to a district judge. All pending 

motion hearings and scheduled appearances are hereby vacated and will be reset by the newly 

assigned judge.

///

 

1 The Court ordered plaintiffs to file proof of service of the complaint and summons on defendants 

Tancredy and Killingsworth by November 29, 2019, if such defendants had been served. Dkt. No. 

14. Plaintiffs did not file proof of service.
