UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VERONIKA NOBLE,

Plaintiff,

v.

RAYMOND A. MERLO; ROBIN J. 

MERLO, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-1571 TLN DB PS

ORDER

On July 28, 2016, the assigned District Judge referred this matter to the undersigned 

pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(21) because all defendants were proceeding pro se at that time. 

(ECF No. 7.) On October 19, 2016, however, attorney Bashar Ahmad appeared on behalf of the 

defendants. (ECF No. 20.)

Because defendants are no longer proceeding pro se, Local Rule 302(c)(21) no longer 

applies and, accordingly, the case will be referred back to the assigned District Judge. Therefore, 

all pretrial motions, other than discovery motions, should now be noticed for hearing before the 

District Judge assigned to this action. The assigned magistrate judge shall continue to perform all 

duties described in Local Rule 302(c)(1)-(20).
