UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ELIZABETH MONTOYA, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE 

COMPANY, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:16-cv-876-TLN-EFB 

ORDER 

 This case, in which plaintiff was proceeding in propria persona, was before the 

undersigned pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rule 302(c)(21). See 28 U.S.C. § 

636(b)(1). On June 24, 2016, attorney P. Randall Noah was substituted in as attorney of record 

for plaintiff. ECF No. 13. 

 Because plaintiff is now represented by counsel, the referral to the magistrate judge will 

be withdrawn and the case will be referred back to the district judge. The undersigned will, 

however, continue to perform the usual discovery tasks associated with ordinary civil cases. 

 Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the referral of this case to the magistrate judge 

is withdrawn and the case is referred back to the district judge. 

DATED: June 24, 2016.
