telephone on behalf of Defendants/Cross Complainants Hagerty Insurance Agency and Essentia 

Insurance Company. 

In light of Attorney Tony Salazar’s appearance on behalf of Plaintiff Roy Gibson and Cross 

Defendant Judy Slack, the Court encouraged the parties to meet and confer about the status of the case 

and determine whether an early resolution of this matter is possible. During the conference, the parties 

also discussed Mr. Salazar’s appearance as counsel, Magistrate Judge jurisdiction, and whether the 

Court should proceed with appointing a guardian ad-litem due to Mr. Gibson’s advanced Alzheimer’s 

disease. Based on this discussion, Attorney Salazar is ORDERED to file a substitution of attorney no 

later than September 8, 2016. The Court further CONTINUES the Initial SCHEDULING 

CONFERENCE to October 11, 2016 at 09:00 AM in Courtroom 8 (BAM) before Magistrate Judge 

Barbara A. McAuliffe. At the scheduling conference, counsel should be prepared to discuss whether 

Plaintiff still intends to consent to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction and whether the Court should appoint 

a guardian ad litem. A joint scheduling report is due one week before the conference. 

The Clerk of the Court is directed to send this order to Plaintiff/Cross Defendant Ray Gibson

and Cross Defendant Judy Slack at their address of record. The Clerk is also directed to mail a copy 

of this order to Attorney Anthony T. Salazar at:

P.O. Box 728 

Angels Camp, CA 95222

IT IS SO ORDERED.
