UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUREKA DIVISION

DAVID L. COOK,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF ANTIOCH, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-01370-RMI 

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO 

REASSIGN CASE

All named parties, including unserved defendants, must consent before a magistrate judge 

has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1) to hear and decide a case. See Williams v. King, 875 

F.3d 500, 503 (9th Cir. 2017) (magistrate judge lacked jurisdiction to dismiss case on initial 

review because unserved defendants had not consented to proceed before magistrate judge). It 

appears that this case requires a decision dispositive of one or more defendants or claims at this 

time (see Order of Dismissal with Leave to Amend (dkt. 11)), and consent of all parties has not 

been obtained. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court shall reassign this case to a district judge pursuant 

to the court’s assignment plan.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 18, 2019
