NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

 RAMBUS INC.,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO.

LTD., et al., 

 Defendant(s).

_____________________________/

No. C 05-2298 WDB

 

ORDER RE CONSENT OR REQUEST

FOR REASSIGNMENT 

This case was randomly assigned at filing to the undersigned United States Magistrate

Judge. Without the written consent of all parties to jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section

636(c), a Magistrate Judge may not hear and determine a motion that could be dispositive of

an action or a claim or defense. On July 15, 2005, plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss and

strike certain of defendant's counterclaims and affirmative defenses pursuant to Federal Rule

of Civil Procedure 12 - a potentially dispositive motion. In light of plaintiff's pending

motion, the Court asks the parties to consider the attached "Consent to Assignment or

Request for Reassignment," make an election, and e-file the consent or request for

reassignment by no later than July 29, 2005.

 . 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
