NOT FOR CITATION

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

STATE FARM LIFE INSURANCE

COMPANY,

Plaintiff,

 v.

JASON CAI and THE ESTATE OF YING

DENG, Deceased,

Defendants. /

No. C09-00396 HRL

ORDER THAT CASE BE REASSIGNED

TO A DISTRICT COURT JUDGE

This is an interpleader action. The initial case management conference has been

continued several times for various reasons. The court is informed that defendant Jason Cai,

who is representing himself, has been in custody from the outset of this proceeding and

currently is awaiting trial in another matter. There were also some delays with respect to the

service on and representation of the Estate of Ying Deng (“Estate”). Meanwhile, this court

reminded the parties of their obligation to either consent or decline to proceed before a

magistrate judge. (See Docket No. 17). And, on March 22, 2010, this court ordered defendants

to file either a consent or declination by March 31, 2010. (Docket No. 27). Neither Cai nor the

Estate have complied. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT this case be reassigned to a

United States District Court Judge.

Dated: 

HOWARD R. LLOYD
