ORDER VACATING CONSENT

ORDER; REASSIGNING CASE

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner had filed a consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction in

this federal habeas corpus matter under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (Doc. No. 4.) As such, the court

issued an order to reassign this action for all further matters to a magistrate judge. (Doc. No. 5.) 

However, after further review, it appears that the undersigned was initially assigned this action

in error. See General Order 44(D)(5) (“the Clerk shall assign any non-capital habeas petition

filed by a prisoner to the same judge who was assigned any previous petitions filed by or on

behalf of that prisoner.”). Petitioner has a previously filed non-capital habeas petition with

Judge Jon S. Tigar. See Lerma v. Cate, No. 11-4265 JST (N.D. Cal.). 

Accordingly, the December 30, 2013, order reassigning this case to a magistrate judge is

VACATED. This action is REASSIGNED to Judge Jon S. Tigar pursuant to General Order

44(D)(5).
