UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SCOTT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

MIKE PATEL,

Defendant.

No. 2:14-cv-2052 GEB DAD

ORDER

This matter was referred to the undersigned pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(21) on 

February 2, 2015, because defendant Mike Patel was proceeding pro se. (Dkt. No. 12.) However, 

on March 9, 2015, attorney Michael Welch appeared as counsel for defendant Patel in this action. 

(Dkt. No. 14.) 

Because the defendant is no longer proceeding pro se, Local Rule 302(c)(21) no longer 

applies. 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).
