UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MABEL NORSE,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA 

DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES,

Defendant.

No. 2:15-cv-1358-JAM-KJN PS

ORDER

Plaintiff, proceeding without counsel, commenced this action on June 26, 2015. (ECF No. 

1.) On October 29, 2015, attorney Lawrence Bohm filed a request to be substituted as counsel for 

plaintiff. (ECF No. 6.) The court grants that request.

Furthermore, in light of the appearance of counsel on plaintiff’s behalf, the court refers the 

action to the assigned district judge. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 302(c)(21) (“Actions initially assigned to 

a Magistrate Judge under this paragraph shall be referred back the assigned Judge if a party 

appearing in propria persona is later represented by an attorney appearing in accordance with L.R. 

180.”). 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The request for substitution of counsel (ECF No. 6) is GRANTED.

2. The action is referred to the assigned United States District Judge. Further
