Defendants. )

)

On April 18, 2007, Plaintiff and Anthony Shultz, Defendants’

father, filed a stipulation and order for dismissal of this action

with prejudice in which they state this action has “been resolved by

agreement.” The stipulation and order further “requests the Court

appoint Anthony Shultz as the guardian ad litem for Christian Shultz

[and] Natasha Shultz for the limited purpose of this stipulation and

dismissal.” Since it has not been shown that Anthony Shultz is an

attorney authorized to practice in this court and he appears to be

purporting to represent Defendants in pro per status, the stipulation

and order is stricken.

28 1 The Magistrate Judge is responsible for resolving discovery

disputes. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 72-302(c)(1).

2

Review of the record reveals this action does not come

within the automatic reference provision of Local Rule 72-302(c)(21).1

Therefore, the portion of the order filed April 3, 2007 indicating

that this action is referenced to the magistrate judge is withdrawn.

That order would not have issued had the undersigned judge known that

because of the status of Defendants it is unlikely that they can

defend this action without an attorney. E.D. Cal. L.R. 17-202(a);

Johns v. County of San Diego, 114 F.3d 874, 877 (9th Cir. 1997). This

was not brought to the judge’s attention until he read the April 18

filing, which has been stricken. 

Therefore, the status (pretrial scheduling) conference 

scheduled to commence at 11:00 a.m. on May 25, 2007 will be held in

Courtroom 10 before the undersigned judge. Plaintiff shall file a

status report at least fourteen days prior to the status conference,

in which these matters are to be discussed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 19, 2007
