January 25, 2013. (Doc. 1.) On February 11, 2013, Plaintiff consented to Magistrate Judge 

jurisdiction in this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 636(c), and no other parties have made an

until such time as reassignment to a District Judge is required. Local Rule Appendix A(k)(3).

On May 2, 2013, the court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to file an amended 

complaint within thirty days. (Doc. 9.) On June 5, 2013, Plaintiff appealed the court’s order to 

the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. (Doc. 14.) The thirty day time period for Plaintiff to file 

an amended complaint expired, and Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint. However, on
